Units explained
US Minim
A US minim is 1/60 of a US fluid dram (≈0.0616 mL).
The smallest unit of the apothecaries' fluid measure.
Historical compounding and dosing.
Apothecaries' system.
Liter
The liter is a metric unit of volume equal to one cubic decimeter (0.001 m³). It is the everyday metric volume unit.
Introduced in France in 1795; redefined in 1964 as exactly one cubic decimeter.
The world's common unit for beverages, fuel, and household liquids.
France, 1795; CGPM 1964.
