RE: [RC] Micrograms to ml - heidianybody know how many micrograms to one ml? a friend just called and is trying to find out as she's supposed to give her horse some med. in ml but it came with a microgram measurer.Since one is a measurement of volume and the other is a measurement of weight, the conversion depends upon how many "pounds per cubic inch" whatever the material is. For water (at sea level and some specified temperature that I don't remember), the conversion is 1:1. Well, no, given liquid (water) measurement at precise conditions, a gram is a 1:1 conversion to a milliliter. A microgram is 1/1,000,000 of a gram. And I think the original poster really needs to contact the vet who prescribed this, as there is no practical way in one's barnyard that one can measure such a tiny amount. I am also wondering if she means mg (milligrams) which would only be 1/1000 of a gram. Or if there is a misprint, and the vet wrote mg and meant ml. In any event, I don't think we can help her much via internet without more information.
