Subject: [USMA:16251] ml/d


>Last night I attended a conference together with my wife. The subject was
related to a certain drug (medicine) and it's effects/usage.
>
>The speaker used SI correctly throughout the entire presentation. However,
one item caught my attention and I decided to bring it up to the list since
we are also debating things like km/h versus m/s.
>
>He used ml/d and in another instance written as ml/day.
>
>You will (hopefully) all agree that it is a useful way to describe the
drug's dosage as mass or volume per day. However, I don't remember the SI
allowing the symbol "d" for day (or maybe diem).
