What is a minim (US)?

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

What does a cord [cd] measure?

A cord is a volume unit used for firewood, defined as 128 cubic feet, often represented by a wood stack measuring 4 ft by 4 ft by 8 ft.

Why convert from minim (US) to cord [cd]?

This conversion is used mainly for interpreting or translating very small liquid volumes from historical pharmaceutical contexts into much larger firewood volume measurements, often for archival research or cross-disciplinary analysis.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms volume values between the US minim, a tiny liquid measure historically used in pharmacy, and the cord, a large volume unit for stacked firewood. It supports users needing to interpret or translate data across very different volume scales.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volume in minim (US) you wish to convert.
Select the target unit as cord [cd].
Click the convert button to see the equivalent volume.
Review the conversion result and use it according to your context.
Refer to examples for guidance on typical conversions.

Key Features

Converts from minim (US) to cord [cd] volumes easily.
Provides examples to demonstrate volume translation.
Supports cross-disciplinary volume conversions between liquid and solid units.
Helps interpret historical or pharmaceutical volume data with forestry measurements.
User-friendly interface suitable for both research and practical applications.

Examples

10 minim (US) converts to approximately 1.6998361658167e-7 cord [cd].
1000 minim (US) converts to approximately 1.6998361658167e-5 cord [cd].

Common Use Cases

Analyzing historical apothecary prescriptions involving minim volumes.
Interpreting dose sizes in archival medical records and pharmacological research.
Converting liquid medicine volumes into larger forestry or firewood volume units.
Estimating and reporting firewood quantities in retail and woodlot management.
Cross-disciplinary data analysis combining pharmaceutical history with timber measurements.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the context justifies converting a very small liquid volume unit to a large solid volume unit.
Use the tool primarily for historical, archival, or theoretical data comparisons.
Cross-check conversions when working with legacy pharmaceutical measurements.
Consider the physical differences between liquid and solid units before application.
Refer to provided examples to understand the scale of values involved.

Limitations

Minim (US) and cord measure vastly different volume scales, making practical use rare.
Conversion mixes different substances: liquid volume versus stacked wood volume.
Precision can be affected by the enormous size difference between units.
Direct real-world measurement applicability is limited without relevant context.
Primarily useful for historical or theoretical conversions, not daily measurements.
