You are, of course, right.  My mistake.

Subject: RE: [RC] Micrograms to ml



anybody 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.
