What is a minim (UK)?

The minim (UK) is a historic British apothecaries' unit of liquid volume equal to 1/60 of an imperial fluid dram or 1/480 of an imperial fluid ounce.

What does a cord [cd] measure?

A cord is a unit used to measure stacked firewood volume, defined as 128 cubic feet, typically a 4 ft by 4 ft by 8 ft woodpile.

Why convert minim (UK) to cord [cd]?

This conversion helps interpret very small historic liquid volumes in terms relevant to large-scale firewood and timber volume management, useful in archival and forestry contexts.

How to Convert from Minim (UK) to Cord [cd]

Convert volume measurements from the historic minim (UK) unit, used in apothecaries, to the cord [cd], a large volume unit for firewood. This tool helps bridge old liquid measures with modern timber volumes.

What Is This Tool?

This converter changes volume measurements from minim (UK), a small historic liquid unit, into cord [cd], a large volume unit used for stacked firewood. It supports users interpreting old apothecary volumes in contexts such as forestry and wood fuel management.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volume value in minim (UK) in the input field.
Select minim (UK) as the source unit and cord [cd] as the target unit.
Click the convert button to see the corresponding volume in cord [cd].
Use the result for archival, forestry, or historical volume analysis.

Key Features

Converts minim (UK) to cord [cd] volume units accurately based on defined rates.
Supports interpretation of historic pharmaceutical and forestry volumes.
Handles conversions between very small and very large volume units.
Easy to use browser-based interface for quick unit translation.

Examples

1000 minim (UK) converts to approximately 1.6331345e-5 cord [cd].
500 minim (UK) converts to about 8.1656725e-6 cord [cd].

Common Use Cases

Interpreting historic liquid medicine volumes in modern metric and forestry contexts.
Translating small apothecary measures into large-scale firewood volume calculations.
Supporting archival, forensic, or museum work involving old medical records and formulations.
Estimating or reporting firewood volumes for timber sales and wood-fuel management.

Tips & Best Practices

Remember the minim (UK) is a very small unit compared to the cord, so final results will be tiny decimal numbers.
Use this conversion mainly for academic, archival, or forestry-related volume comparisons.
Be aware that stacking density can affect cord volume measurements, impacting precision.
Review historical contexts when interpreting minim values, as it is an apothecaries' liquid measure.

Limitations

Direct conversion is mostly academic due to vastly different contexts of liquid vs solid volumes.
Numerical results typically involve very small decimals that can be impractical for everyday usage.
Historical approximations of minim might affect exact conversion accuracy.
Cord volume can vary due to firewood stacking density, limiting measurement precision.
