About Liters
A liter (L) is the fundamental metric unit of volume, equal to one cubic decimeter (1 dm³ = 1,000 cm³ = 1,000 mL). Since its adoption as part of the metric system in 1793, the liter has become the world's most widely used volume measurement for liquids. Bottled water, soft drinks, wine, milk, and engine oil are all routinely sold by the liter globally. One liter of pure water at 4°C weighs almost exactly one kilogram - a convenient property that makes the liter central to everyday science, cooking, and industry worldwide. The liter is also written 'litre' in British English.
About Minims
A minim (min) is the smallest US apothecary unit = 1/480 fl oz ≈ 0.0616 mL, defined as approximately one drop of water. 60 minims = one fluid dram; 480 minims = one fluid ounce. Now largely superseded by millilitres, minims survive in traditional compounding recipes, older US pharmacopeias, and historical pharmaceutical literature. 1 min ≈ 0.0616 mL.
