IV Flow Rate Calculator
Calculate Intravenous Infusion Rates and Drop Rates
IV Flow Rate Results
Flow Rate
0
mL/hour
0 gtt/min
Calculation Method
Flow Rate Formula:
Flow Rate = Volume ÷ Time
Where:
• Volume = 0 mL
• Time = 0 hours
• Flow Rate = 0 mL/hour
Drop Rate Formula:
Drop Rate = (Flow Rate × Drop Factor) ÷ 60
Where:
• Flow Rate = 0 mL/hour
• Drop Factor = 0 gtt/mL
• Drop Rate = 0 gtt/min
Time Breakdown
Important Notes
Drop Factors: Different IV tubing sets have different drop factors. Standard tubing typically has 15-20 gtt/mL, while microdrip tubing has 60 gtt/mL. Blood tubing usually has 10 gtt/mL.
Accuracy: Always verify calculations and use appropriate monitoring devices. These calculations are estimates and should be verified by qualified healthcare professionals.
