About these units
Quart (US) (qt (US))
A US quart equals 32 US fluid ounces or 946 milliliters, exactly 1/4 of a US gallon. It is commonly used for milk, juice, motor oil, and household chemicals. The quart's convenient scale makes it ideal for medium-sized liquid quantities—larger than a pint but smaller than a gallon. It remains widely used in American kitchens, automotive maintenance, and everyday shopping. Like other US customary units, the quart persists because consumers and industries have longstanding infrastructures built around it.
Minim (UK) (minim (UK))
The UK minim is one of the smallest traditional volume units, equal to 1/60 of a dram, or roughly 0.059 milliliters. Introduced in the early 19th century to replace the inconsistent "drop," the minim allowed physicians and pharmacists to dose potent liquid medicines more reliably. Before modern syringes and droppers, apothecaries needed a precise micro-unit that could be measured using graduated glassware. The minim served this purpose exceptionally well and was foundational in early medical standardization. Although no longer used in contemporary medicine, it remains historically important, especially in pharmacology, toxicology, and the study of pre-modern medical practice.
