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 Now largely superseded by millilitres, minims survive in traditional compounding recipes, older US pharmacopeias, and historical pharmaceutical literature. 1 min ≈ 0.0616 mL.
About Oil Barrels
An oil barrel (bbl) = exactly 42 US gallons ≈ 158.99 L - established by the Pennsylvania oil industry in the 1860s and now the global petroleum standard. Global oil production, OPEC quotas, and crude spot prices are all quoted in barrels or Mb/d (millions of barrels per day); world consumption ~100 Mb/d in 2024. 'Bbl' derives from the 'blue barrel' mark on petroleum containers. 1 bbl = 42 US gal ≈ 159 L.
