Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a minim (US) unit used for?
-
The minim (US) was traditionally used in pharmacy and medicine to measure very small liquid volumes, particularly in historical apothecary prescriptions.
-
What does ccf represent?
-
Ccf stands for hundred cubic feet and is commonly applied by utility companies for measuring water and natural gas volumes.
-
Why convert minim (US) to ccf?
-
This conversion helps merge small pharmaceutical volume data with large-scale utility volume units, useful in research, billing, and archival record conversion.
Key Terminology
-
Minim (US)
-
A small apothecary unit of liquid volume traditionally used in measuring tiny doses in pharmacy and medicine.
-
Ccf
-
A volume measurement equal to 100 cubic feet, frequently used by utilities to quantify water and natural gas consumption.
