- Dimensions are approximate and can vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.
- Volume Capacity is given in milliliters (mL) and indicates the approximate volume of powder the capsule can hold.
- Approximate Powder Weight is based on typical powder densities. The actual weight can vary depending on the powder’s density and how it’s packed into the capsule.
