Formula and methodology
Formula: gtt/min = volume * dropFactor / (hours * 60); mL/hr = volume / hours.
Total drops divided by total minutes gives the gravity rate; the pump rate ignores the set factor. Drops cannot be fractional in practice, so round per policy.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Volume to infuse — mL; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 100000
- Infusion time — hours; minimum 0.01; maximum 168
- Drip set factor — gtt/mL; From the tubing package: 10, 15, 20, or 60.; minimum 1; maximum 60
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Volume to infuse | 1000 |
| Infusion time | 8 |
| Drip set factor | 15 |
31.25 gtt/min; 125 mL/hr.
Assumptions and limits
- Constant rate over the whole infusion.
- Drop factor from the actual tubing; pump mode uses mL/hr.
- Educational estimate: verify against the order and policy; not a prescription.
