Curious about the ancient art of apothecary measurements? Our Microgram to Scruple-apothecary Converter turns modern micrograms into traditional scruples, making dosage calculations a breeze.
A microgram is a unit of mass equal to one millionth (1/1,000,000) of a gram. It is denoted as 'µg' and is commonly used in the fields of chemistry and medicine where precise measurements of small masses are required.
Definition of Scruple-apothecaryIn apothecary measurement, a scruple is a small unit of weight equal to 20 grains or approximately 1.296 grams. Historically used by apothecaries, it has now largely been replaced by metric units.
| Microgram (µg) | Scruple-apothecary (sc[ap]) |
|---|---|
| 100 µg | 0.00154 sc(ap) |
| 200 µg | 0.00308 sc(ap) |
| 300 µg | 0.00462 sc(ap) |
| 400 µg | 0.00616 sc(ap) |
| 500 µg | 0.00770 sc(ap) |
| 600 µg | 0.00924 sc(ap) |
| 700 µg | 0.01078 sc(ap) |
| 800 µg | 0.01232 sc(ap) |
| 900 µg | 0.01386 sc(ap) |
| 1000 µg | 0.01540 sc(ap) |
1 µg = 0.0000154 sc(ap)
1 sc(ap) = 64,798.91 µg
Example 1:
Convert 500 µg to sc(ap):
500 µg = 500 × 0.0000154 sc(ap) = 0.0077 sc(ap)
Example 2:
Convert 1500 µg to sc(ap):
1500 µg = 1500 × 0.0000154 sc(ap) = 0.0231 sc(ap)
The Microgram to Scruple-apothecary Converter is rooted in the blend of modern and ancient measurement systems. The microgram, a metric unit, ties back to the adoption of the metric system in the 1790s. The scruple, an apothecary unit, has a storied past tracing back to ancient Roman and Greek medicine and commerce.
