How does a dram compared to a gram?

Answer 1

1 gram = 0.257 dram or 1 dram = 3.89 grams -- Currently a dram is both a small mass in the Apothecaries' system of weights and a small unit of volume. This unit is called more correctly fluid dram or in contraction also fluidram.

a dram is a unit of volume (equal to 1/8 fluid ounce). a gram is a unit of mass.

Answer 2

1 drop = 1 minim (ap) = 1/60th fluid dram

1 dram (liq - US) = 1/8 fl oz = 0.226 cubic inch = 3.697 ml = 1 tsp

60 drops (minims) = 1 fluid dram (ap) = 1 tsp

(1 measuring tsp = 1/3 tbsp = 1-1/3 fl drams = 5 ml)

(1 measuring tbsp = 3 tsp = 4 fl drams = 1/2 fl oz = 15 ml)

2 tbsp = 1 liq ounce

4 tbsp = 1/4 cup

5 tbsp = 1/3 cup

1-1/2 oz = 1 jigger

1/2 jigger = 1 pony

8 tsp (fl. drams) = 1 fluid ounce (ap)

8 fl oz = 1 cup = 1/2 pint

2 cups = 1 pint

16 fl oz (ap) = 1 pint (ap) = 128 fl drams (ap)

2 pints = 1 quart = 32 fl oz = 256 fl drams = 4 cups

4 quarts = 1 gal = 128 fl oz = 1,024 fl drams

1 milliliter = 0.271 fl dram = 16.231 minims = 1/5 tsp

1 liq oz = 29.574 ml

1 gill = 4 fl oz = 0.118 liter

4 gills (liq) = 1 pint

2 pints = 1 quart

4 quarts = 1 gallon = 8 pints = 32 gills

1 liter = 1.057 liq quarts = 61.024 cubic inches

1 gallon (US) = 231 cubic inches = 3.785 liters = 128 fl oz (US)

1 barrel liquid = 31 to 42 gallons

(law allows for a variety of sizes: petroleum products are usually found in the larger sized barrels, while fermented/Alcoholic Beverages are to be found in the smaller sized barrels although federal law recognizes a 40 gallon barrel for proof spirits)

Answer 3

A dram is larger than a gram. One gram is equal to 0.5 dram, so the inverse would be that it takes 2 grams to make 1 dram.
