What does the US minim measure?

The US minim is a small liquid volume unit used historically in pharmacy and medicine to measure very small doses.

What is a ton register unit?

A ton register is a maritime volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet, traditionally used to describe a ship's internal capacity.

Why convert from minim (US) to ton register units?

Converting between these units helps interpret and connect historical pharmaceutical liquid volumes with maritime ship capacity data.

Examples

500 Minim (US) converts to approximately 1.0879e-5 Ton register [ton reg].
1000 Minim (US) converts to approximately 2.1758e-5 Ton register [ton reg].

Common Use Cases

Interpreting small liquid dose volumes in historical apothecary prescriptions.
Analyzing vessel internal volume from old maritime records using register tonnage.
Correlating pharmaceutical liquid measurements to older ship capacity data for archival research.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this converter primarily for historical or archival volume unit interpretation.
Verify unit context when working with historical medical and maritime documents.
Be cautious of very small converted values due to the vast scale difference between units.

Limitations

Conversion results in extremely small values because of the large scale difference between minim and ton register.
The ton register has been mostly replaced by modern tonnage measures in current maritime use.
The minim unit is seldom used today outside of historical pharmaceutical contexts.
