Minim (Us)
The minim (US) is a unit of volume measurement primarily used in the United States, equal to one fluid dram or approximately 0.0616115 milliliters.
History/Origin
The minim originated from the apothecary system, where it was used to measure small quantities of liquids, especially in pharmacy and medicine, dating back to the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, the minim is rarely used outside of specific medical or pharmaceutical contexts, with metric units like milliliters being more common for volume measurement.
Cubic Decimeter
A cubic decimeter (dm^3) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with sides of one decimeter (10 centimeters).
History/Origin
The cubic decimeter has been used as a standard unit of volume in the metric system since its adoption, primarily for scientific and industrial measurements, as a convenient subdivision of the liter.
Current Use
The cubic decimeter is commonly used in scientific, medical, and industrial contexts to measure liquids and other substances, often interchangeably with liters, since 1 dm^3 equals 1 liter.
