| Convert from minim [UK] to ounce [US, liquid] |
Unit Definition (minim [UK]) The minim [UK] is a traditional unit of volume used for very small quantities of liquids. In pharmacy, the term drop traditionally meant the same thing as 1 minim. The minim is defined to be 1/60 fluid dram or 1/480 fluid ounce. The British minim is equal to about 0.003 612 cubic inch or 59.194 microliters. The word comes from the Latin minimus, small. Unit Definition (ounce [US, liquid]) The ounce [US, liquid] is a traditional unit of liquid volume, also called the fluid ounce to avoid confusion with the weight ounce. In the U. S. customary system there are 16 fluid ounces in a pint, so each fluid ounce represents 1.804 687 cubic inches or 29.573 531 milliliters. A U.S. fluid ounce of water weighs just a bit more than one ounce avoirdupois.
