As the size of a syringe increases, how do the increments of calibration marks change?

When considering the relationship between the size of a syringe and the increments of its calibration marks, larger syringes typically have calibration marks that reflect larger volumes for each increment. For instance, a 10 mL syringe will have markings that are further apart than those on a 1 mL syringe. This is necessary for practical reasons: larger syringes are used to measure and deliver larger quantities of medication, which makes it more efficient and easier for the user to read the measurements at larger intervals.

This design allows for efficiency during compounding and administering medications, as larger volumes require less precise measurement when the total volume is substantial. Therefore, as the size of the syringe increases, the increments of calibration marks indeed increase, simplifying dosage calculations and ensuring precise administration in larger volume scenarios.
