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.

3.5 units, or 3 units (to be pedantic).
If you have calibrated eyeballs
Insulin is measured in "units".
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.

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
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)
Insulin is typically measured in units on a syringe. The markings on the syringe barrel are calibrated to measure the volume of insulin in units. Each line represents a specific number of units, and the user must carefully align the plunger with the correct marking to draw up the desired dose of insulin. It is important to use the correct syringe size and type to ensure accurate measurement and administration of insulin.
The volume is measured in L or submultiples.

ISO 8537:2007 specifies requirements and test methods for sterile syringes, with or without needles, solely for the injection of insulin. The syringes are single-use only, primarily for use in humans. It covers syringes for use with 40 units of insulin/ml (U-40) and 100 units of insulin/ml (U-100). Sterile syringes specified in ISO 8537:2007 are intended for use soon after filling as they are not suitable for containing insulin over extended periods of time. ISO 7886-3:2005 specifies the properties and performance of sterile single-use hypodermic syringes with or without needle, made of plastic materials and stainless steel and intended for the aspiration of vaccines or for the injection of vaccines immediately after filling. Upon delivering a fixed dose of vaccine the syringe is automatically rendered unusable. ISO 7886-3:2005 does not specify the design of the auto-disable feature, which is left to the discretion of the manufacturer ISO 7886-3:2005 is not applicable to syringes for use with insulin (specified in ISO 8537), syringes made of glass (specified in ISO 595), syringes for use with power-driven syringe pumps (specified in ISO 7886-2), auto-disable syringes for variable dose delivery and syringes designed to be prefilled. It does not address compatibility with injection fluids/vaccines. Available from http://iso.org
