IV Drip Rate, Flow Rate & Gravity Infusion (gtt/min & mL/hr) Calculator
Calculate intravenous (IV) drip flow rate in drops per minute (gtt/min), pump infusion speed in mL/hr, and total infusion run time using standard tubing drop factors for clinical nursing.
IV Drip Rate (Drops per Minute / gtt/min)
Calculator Inputs
IV Drip Rate (Drops per Minute / gtt/min)
Infusion Pump Flow Rate (mL/hr)
Time Interval per Drop (Seconds)
Hourly Infusion Rate (mL/hr) vs Drops per Minute (gtt/min)
Clinical calculation tool for healthcare professionals and nursing students. Always verify IV infusion orders and patient response.

Always consult a qualified physician or certified dietitian before starting any dietary regimen, exercise program, or making health decisions.
Calculation Methodology
Drip Rate (gtt/min) = [Total Volume (mL) * Drop Factor (gtt/mL)] / [Time in Minutes]. Flow Rate (mL/hr) = Total Volume (mL) / Time in Hours.
