Talk:Minim (unit)

I was once told by a physician that a minim is about one drop. (I assume of an average aqueous solution, or of water, but Castor Oil was actually being referred to).Carrionluggage 17:35, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Difference between litre and liter
Hello,

I have never heard of any difference between the US liter and the UK litre, feel free to correct me if I am wrong with this one, with some references. This is consistent with the article on Liter and Liter which appear to be the same thing, and only one is mentioned in as far as i can see. I have found big conversion tables, but nothing expressing a difference between the two. Anyone know better? User A1 11:48, 13 September 2007 (UTC)


 * It's not a difference between one litre and another. The difference is between one minim and another.  The US fluid ounce is about a millilitre bigger than the imperial one making for a smaller imperial minim. Jɪmp 00:29, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I think I've probably clarified things a bit with the current reworking of the article. I surpose it was this edit which caused the confusion. Jɪmp 01:15, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

minim tube
There's an illustration of a minim tube, and comments on its use, here. It would be nice to add this to the article, but somebody more skilled with graphics on WP would do a better job than I would. BPMullins | Talk 01:30, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
