What is a minim (US)?

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

What does a megaliter represent?

A megaliter (ML) is a metric volume unit equal to 1,000,000 litres, commonly used in hydrology and engineering for large water volumes.

Why convert minim (US) to megaliter [ML]?

This conversion helps bridge small historical liquid dosages with modern large-scale water volume measurements in engineering and water resource management.

Review the output to compare or apply in hydrologic or pharmaceutical contexts.

Key Features

Converts very small liquid volume units (minim US) to large metric volumes (megaliter ML).
Uses established conversion rate between minim (US) and megaliter [ML].
Ideal for bridging historical pharmaceutical units with modern water volume metrics.
Browser-based and easy to use for quick volume conversions.
Supports volume measurement contexts from medicine to hydrology and engineering.

Examples

10 minim (US) converts to 6.1611519921875e-10 megaliter [ML].
1000 minim (US) converts to 6.1611519921875e-8 megaliter [ML].

Common Use Cases

Interpreting historical liquid medicine dosages measured in minims.
Translating old apothecary prescriptions into metric units for comparison.
Assessing large water volumes expressed in megaliters within engineering projects.
Bridging small pharmaceutical volumes with municipal water resource measurements.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure values entered in minim (US) are accurate for meaningful conversion.
Use this tool primarily for historical reference or interdisciplinary volume comparisons.
Recognize the very small scale of minim values relative to megaliters to avoid misinterpretation.
Verify unit selections carefully to prevent conversion errors.

Limitations

Minim (US) is extremely small compared to the megaliter, making results close to zero.
Conversions between these units are mostly theoretical or for historical context.
Rare practical applications due to vastly different volume scales.
Possible precision loss when converting tiny values into very large volume units.
