What is a minim (US)?

A minim (US) is a traditional apothecaries' unit of liquid volume equal to 1/60 of a US fluid dram or approximately 61.6115 microliters, historically used in pharmacy.

What does an acre-inch measure?

An acre-inch is the volume of liquid covering one acre of land to a depth of one inch, equal to 3,630 cubic feet or about 102.79 cubic meters.

Why convert minim (US) to acre-inch?

Converting minim (US) to acre-inch helps translate very small pharmaceutical volumes into large-scale agricultural water volumes for interdisciplinary understanding.

Examples

10 Minims (US) convert to approximately 5.9939126508137e-9 Acre-inch
1000 Minims (US) convert to approximately 5.9939126508137e-7 Acre-inch

Common Use Cases

Evaluating historical pharmaceutical dosing volumes in larger water management contexts
Estimating irrigation water needs covering one acre to a depth of one inch
Planning reservoir or pond storage capacities for agricultural purposes
Communicating water rights and allocations in agricultural water-management
Bridging volume units between old pharmacopoeias and modern irrigation engineering

Tips & Best Practices

Use the tool for academic or specialized volume conversions due to scale differences
Ensure careful handling of significant figures when converting very small minim values
Refer to metric units when practical, as minim is a largely obsolete unit
Use the conversion to aid understanding across pharmacy and agricultural disciplines
Double-check results when applying in precise water allocation contexts

Limitations

Direct conversions are rare and mostly academic due to the huge volume scale difference
Small minim values require precise handling to avoid errors from very tiny numbers
Minim (US) is obsolete and replaced by metric units, limiting its modern use
