20 units to mL
20 units is 0.2 mL on a U-100 insulin syringe. 100 units is 1 mL, so divide units by 100. 0.2 mL is also 0.2 cc.
20 units on different syringes
Units are a marking, not a fixed volume. The volume depends on the syringe type printed on the barrel.
| Syringe | 20 units = | Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| U-100, 0.3 mL barrel · 30 units | 0.2 mL | Fits |
| U-100, 0.5 mL barrel · 50 units | 0.2 mL | Fits |
| U-100, 1 mL barrel · 100 units | 0.2 mL | Fits |
| U-40 · 40 units = 1 mL | 0.5 mL | Different scale |
Units to mL around 20 units
| Units | mL on a U-100 syringe | mL on a U-40 syringe |

Questions
How many mL is 20 units?
0.2 mL on a U-100 insulin syringe. 100 units is 1 mL, so divide units by 100.
Is 20 units the same volume on every syringe?
No. On a U-100 syringe 20 units is 0.2 mL. On a U-40 syringe, where 40 units is 1 mL, 20 units is 0.5 mL. Check which type is printed on the barrel.
How many cc is 20 units?
0.2 cc. A cc and a mL are the same volume.
How many mg is 20 units?
That depends on the concentration of the liquid. 0.2 mL holds 1 mg at 5 mg/mL and 2 mg at 10 mg/mL.
Which insulin syringe holds 20 units?
Any U-100 syringe with a capacity of 20 units or more. The smallest standard barrel that fits is 0.3 mL (30 units). Smaller barrels have wider spacing between marks, which makes them easier to read.
For the amount at each concentration, see 20 units to mg.
