Ml/Hr to Gtt/Min Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the conversion from milliliters per hour to drops per minute is:

\[ Gtt/Min = \frac{(Ml/Hr \times D)}{60} \]

Where:

Gtt/Min is the flow rate in drops per minute
Ml/Hr is the flow rate in milliliters per hour
D is the drop factor (drops per milliliter)

What is Ml/Hr to Gtt/Min?

Ml/Hr to Gtt/Min is a conversion from milliliters per hour to drops per minute. This is commonly used in medical settings, particularly in intravenous (IV) therapy, to calculate the rate at which fluids or medication should be administered to a patient. The conversion factor can vary depending on the specific drip factor of the IV tubing being used.

Example Calculation

Example 1:

Flow Rate in Milliliters per Hour (Ml/Hr): 120
Drop Factor (D): 20 drops per milliliter

Step 1: Calculate the drops per minute:

\[ Gtt/Min = \frac{(120 \times 20)}{60} = 40 \text{ drops per minute} \]

Example 2:

Flow Rate in Milliliters per Hour (Ml/Hr): 80
Drop Factor (D): 15 drops per milliliter

Step 1: Calculate the drops per minute:

\[ Gtt/Min = \frac{(80 \times 15)}{60} = 20 \text{ drops per minute} \]
