What is a minim (US)?

It is a traditional apothecaries’ unit of liquid volume approximately equal to 1/480 of a US fluid ounce, used historically in medicine.

What is a stere [st]?

A stere is a metric volume unit equal to one cubic meter, commonly used to measure volumes of stacked wood or bulk materials.

Why convert minim (US) to stere [st]?

This helps correlate small pharmaceutical liquid volumes from historical contexts with large scale volume units used in industries like forestry and wood processing.

Examples

10 Minim (US) equals 6.1611519921875e-7 Stere [st].
1000 Minim (US) equals 6.1611519921875e-5 Stere [st].

Common Use Cases

Interpreting liquid doses recorded in historical apothecary prescriptions.
Converting small pharmaceutical liquid volumes to large volume units for forestry or wood processing.
Analyzing volume data in forensic medicine or pharmaceutical history research.
Estimating large bulk material volumes while referencing minute liquid measurements.

Tips & Best Practices

Understand the vast volume difference between minim and stere before using the conversion in practical contexts.
Use this conversion mainly for academic, research, or archival purposes due to scale differences.
Double-check unit selections to avoid mixing liquid and bulk volume measures incorrectly.
Leverage conversion examples to verify and validate your results.

Limitations

The extremely different volume scales make this conversion rarely relevant for direct practical use.
Minim measures very small liquid volumes; stere measures large stacked volumes, limiting real-world applicability.
Conversion is mostly useful in niche academic, archival, or cross-disciplinary research situations.
