1/2 cc
This is usually done by weighing. On Earth, mass and weight are proportional; in fact, balances are usually calibrated for mass units, even if some of them really determine the weight.
'Dry' volume - is measures in cubic centimetres... 'Wet' volume is measured in millitres.

Insulin is measured in "units".
No, 10 units in an insulin syringe is not the same as 0.01 cc in a tuberculin (TB) syringe. Insulin syringes are calibrated specifically for insulin, where 100 units equals 1 cc, making 10 units equal 0.1 cc. In contrast, a TB syringe is typically calibrated in cc or mL, where 0.01 cc is equivalent to 1 unit in an insulin syringe.
Calibrated spoons are used for pediatric patients; children. Because children's doses are small, they are ideal for administering small doses. Calibrated oral syringes (no needle) may also be ideal for administering small doses to children. Calibrated spoons may also be used in place of oral syringes for ease of use or patient preference; especially for the elderly.
In an insulin syringe, 0.25 units is typically found between the 0.2 and 0.3 unit markings. Insulin syringes are calibrated in units, and the markings may vary slightly depending on the syringe's manufacturer. Always ensure to read the markings carefully to ensure accurate dosing.
Just about everthing
In a standard insulin syringe, 60 units of insulin typically corresponds to 0.6 ml, as most insulin syringes are calibrated to deliver 100 units of insulin per ml. Therefore, if you draw up 60 units, you would fill the syringe to the 0.6 ml mark. It's important to always verify the calibration of your specific syringe to ensure accurate dosing.

When using a tuberculin syringe instead of an insulin syringe, it's important to note the differences in their measurements. A tuberculin syringe is calibrated in tenths of a milliliter (0.1 ml), while an insulin syringe is calibrated in units. To convert units of insulin to milliliters, you need to know the concentration of your insulin (typically 100 units per 1 ml). So, if you need to draw up 10 units of insulin with a tuberculin syringe, you would draw up 0.1 ml of insulin.
With a "ruler" or "tape measure" calibrated in imperial units
Syringes are generally quite accurate for measuring and delivering liquid medications, with most standard syringes offering an accuracy of ±5% of the total volume. The accuracy can vary based on the syringe type, size, and design; for instance, larger syringes may have lower precision compared to smaller ones. Additionally, proper technique in filling and administering the syringe is crucial for achieving accurate dosages. For critical measurements, using a calibrated syringe and following manufacturer guidelines is recommended.
A 1cc/ml syringe allows you to measure in hundredths, while larger syringes will allow you to measure in tenths. cc - cubic centimeters ml - milliliters IU - international units (insulin syringes)
