Units explained
Milliliter
A milliliter is one thousandth of a liter, exactly equal to one cubic centimeter.
Formed with the SI prefix milli- applied to the liter.
The standard small-volume unit in cooking, medicine and the laboratory.
Metric prefix system.
Imperial Minim
An imperial minim is 1/60 of a fluid drachm (≈0.0592 mL).
The smallest British apothecaries' fluid unit.
Historical compounding.
UK apothecaries' system.

Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 mL to min:
1 × 16.8936382694 = 16.8936382694 min
Example 2 — Convert 100 mL to min:
100 × 16.8936382694 = 1689.3638269379 min
Real-world example — Mid-micron to nanometer
3 milliliters equals 3,000 imperial minims — useful when relating mid-infrared wavelengths (typically quoted in microns) to nanometer-scale visible-light wavelength tables.
3 mL × 16.8936382694 = 50.6809148081 min
Real-world example — From microns to sub-micron features
One milliliter equals one thousand imperial minims — the conversion semiconductor designers do constantly when comparing mask feature dimensions to actual transistor gate lengths.
1 mL × 16.8936382694 = 16.8936382694 min
Real-world example — Infrared to visible-spectrum mapping
A 10-milliliter thermal infrared wavelength corresponds to a much larger number in imperial minims, the unit favoured for ultraviolet and visible-light specifications.
10 mL × 16.8936382694 = 168.9363826938 min
