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 approximately 0.05919 milliliters.

Why convert minim (UK) to cubic meters?

Converting minim (UK) to cubic meters translates historic liquid volumes into modern SI units used in science, engineering, and archival work.

Can I use this tool for modern liquid measurements?

No, the minim (UK) is obsolete and primarily relevant for historic volumes; modern liquid measurements use milliliters or liters instead.
