Converting from Cubic Micrometer (µm³) to Fluid Scruple (fl s)

What is Cubic Micrometer (µm³)

Cubic micrometer (µm³) is a unit of volume that measures the space occupied by a cube with sides of one micrometer (1 µm) in length. A micrometer is one-millionth of a meter. This unit is commonly used in scientific fields such as biology and chemistry to quantify very small volumes, often seen in cellular structures or microscopic samples.

What is Fluid Scruple (fl s)

Fluid scruple (fl s) is a less common unit of volume used primarily in herbal medicine and some recipes. It is defined as a volume equivalent to approximately 1/8 of a fluid drachm or about 1.2 milliliters. Although it is not widely used today, it is still found in historical texts and specific areas of herbal and traditional medicine.

Conversion Formulas

The relationship between cubic micrometers and fluid scruples can be expressed through the following conversion formulas:

1. From cubic micrometers to fluid scruples:

   (fl s)=(µm³)×0.0000008446819

2. From fluid scruples to cubic micrometers:

   (µm³)=(fl s)×1183878

Examples

To better understand how to convert between these two units, consider the following examples:

1. Converting 13 µm³ to fl s: Using the formula:

   (fl s)=13(µm^3)×0.0000008446819≈0.00001098086(fls)

2. Converting 11 µm³ to fl s: Again, using the conversion formula:

   (fl s)=11(µm^3)×0.0000008446819≈0.000009291501(fls)

3. Converting 8 µm³ to fl s:

   (fl s)=8(µm^3)×0.0000008446819≈0.000006757455(fls)

4. Converting 13 fl s to µm³: Using the reverse formula:

   (µm³)=13(fls)×1183878≈15390410(µm^3)

5. Converting 11 fl s to µm³:

   (µm³)=11(fls)×1183878≈13022650(µm^3)

6. Converting 8 fl s to µm³:

   (µm³)=8(fls)×1183878≈9471021(µm^3)
