The Scruple is a small unit in the Apothecaries' System,[1] derived from the Old Roman “Scrupulum” (Small Pebble) Unit[2] (“Scrupulus/Scrupulum”).

The Scruple is ​1⁄24 Ounce, ​1⁄3 Dram, or 20 Grains.[1] It is therefore equal to 1.2959782 Grams. The Roman “Scruple” was somewhat smaller, around 1.14 Grams.

The Fluid “Scruple” is ​1⁄24 Fluid Ounce, ​1⁄3 Fluid Dram, 20 Minims, or ​1⁄4 Tea-Spoon, or 1 Salt-Spoon. It is therefore equal to 1.23 Milliliters.

Use During The Divine Holy Mass.
