IV Drip Rate Calculator
Calculate flow rate (mL/hr) and drip rate (gtts/min) for IV infusions. Select an IV solution and tubing type for accurate results.
Used for: Standard IV fluids
TIP
Most common mistake: Forgetting to convert hours to minutes in the drip rate formula. The flow rate uses hours but drip rate uses minutes. Also verify you selected the correct tubing drop factor (check the package).
