What is Dram?

Dram (dr) is a unit of volume. The dram is a unit of mass and volume with varying definitions depending on context. In mass, the avoirdupois dram equals 1/16 of an avoirdupois ounce or approximately 1.77185 grams. In volume, the fluid dram equals 1/8 of a fluid ounce or about 3.6967 milliliters. Both forms are non-SI units still used in pharmaceuticals and cooking in the United States [nist-sp-811]. The dram originated from the ancient Greek 'drachma' as a unit of weight and currency. It was incorporated into the British imperial system and later the US customary system, primarily for apothecary measurements. The dram's dual mass and volume use developed historically for medicinal dosing [nist-sp-811]. The dram remains in limited use in US pharmaceutical prescriptions and some cooking recipes. It is recognized by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology but largely replaced by metric units globally. The dram is uncommon outside the US [nist-sp-811].

What is Centiliters?

Centiliters (cL) is a unit of volume. A centiliter is a metric unit of volume equal to one-hundredth of a liter, or 10 milliliters. It is used for measuring small volumes of liquids, especially in the beverage industry. The centiliter is part of the SI-derived units and is defined as exactly 0.01 liters [nist-si-guide]. The centiliter was introduced alongside the metric system in the late 18th century. It was formalized as a submultiple of the liter during the metric system's development to standardize liquid volume measurements [nist-si-guide]. Centiliters are commonly used in Europe for beverage volumes, such as soft drinks and alcoholic beverages. It is recognized by ISO standards and used in labeling and recipes, although milliliters are more prevalent globally [iso-80000].
