Minim (Uk)
A minim is a traditional unit of volume used in the UK, equivalent to one-eighth of a fluid dram or approximately 0.0616 milliliters.
History/Origin
The minim originated in the apothecaries' system of measurement, dating back to the 19th century, primarily used for measuring small quantities of liquids in pharmacy and medicine.
Current Use
Today, the minim is largely obsolete and rarely used outside historical or specialized contexts; modern measurements favor metric units, but it may still appear in historical references or vintage recipes.
Exaliter
An exaliter (EL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^18 liters, used to measure extremely large quantities of liquid.
History/Origin
The exaliter was introduced as part of the metric system's extended prefixes to facilitate measurement of vast volumes, though it is rarely used in practical applications due to its enormous size.
Current Use
The exaliter is primarily used in scientific contexts, such as astrophysics and large-scale environmental studies, where measuring extremely large volumes is necessary.
