Convert dram to femtoliter
Please provide values below to convert dram [dr] to femtoliter [fL], or Convert femtoliter to dram.
1 dr = 3.6967e+12 fL. To convert dram to femtoliter, multiply the value by 3.6967e+12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fL = 2.7051e-13 dr). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 dr = 3.6967e+12 fL
- 1 fL = 2.7051e-13 dr
- 10 dr = 3.6967e+13 fL
- 100 dr = 3.6967e+14 fL
How to Convert Dram to Femtoliter
1 dr = 3696691000000 fL
Example: convert 15 dr to fL:
15 dr = 15 × 3696691000000 fL = 55450365000000 fL

Dram
A dram is a unit of volume traditionally used to measure liquids, equivalent to 1/8 of an fluid ounce or approximately 3.7 milliliters.
History/Origin
The dram originated in the apothecary system in medieval Europe and was historically used for measuring medicines and small quantities of liquids. Its use has declined with the adoption of metric units.
Current Use
Today, the dram is primarily used in the context of measuring spirits and liquors, especially in the United States, where it is often used to denote a small serving or shot of alcohol.
Femtoliter
A femtoliter (fL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-15 liters, used to measure extremely small quantities.
History/Origin
The femtoliter was introduced as part of the SI prefixes for metric units, specifically to quantify very small volumes in scientific research, particularly in biology and chemistry.
Current Use
Femtoliters are commonly used in fields such as cell biology, microfluidics, and nanotechnology to measure tiny volumes like individual cells, droplets, or nanoliter-scale samples.
