60 mg vial + 3 mL bacteriostatic water
A 60 mg vial reconstituted with 3 mL comes to 20 mg/mL. Every unit on a U-100 insulin syringe then carries 200 mcg, so 5 mg is 25 units (0.25 mL) and the vial holds 12 draws of that size.

Same vial, other volumes
The mass does not move. Only the concentration and the unit count do.

Same concentration, different vial
These pairs also come to 20 mg/mL, so their unit counts match this page exactly; only the number of draws per vial differs: 10 mg + 0.5 mL, 20 mg + 1 mL, 30 mg + 1.5 mL, 50 mg + 2.5 mL.

60 mg + 3 mL questions
What concentration is 60 mg in 3 mL?
60 mg divided by 3 mL is 20 mg/mL, which is 20,000 mcg/mL. On a U-100 syringe each unit holds 0.01 mL, so one unit carries 200 mcg.
How many units is 5 mg from a 60 mg vial with 3 mL?
5000 mcg divided by 20,000 mcg/mL is 0.25 mL, which is 25 units on a U-100 syringe and 10 units on a U-40 syringe. The vial holds 12 draws of that size.
What if I add 5 mL instead of 3 mL to the 60 mg vial?
The mass stays 60 mg. With 5 mL the concentration is 12 mg/mL instead of 20 mg/mL, so the same amount per draw needs more units: 5 mg becomes 41.7 units instead of 25.
Does a 60 mg vial hold 3 mL?
Usually. Most lyophilized peptide vials are 2 mL or 3 mL glass, and 3 mL fits with room to swirl. Check the vial if it is an unusually small format.
