IV Drip Rate Calculator

Health & Body

Drops/min, pump mL/h, drop factor, infusion time

Quick Answer

IV Drip Rate Calculator: Drops/min, pump mL/h, drop factor, infusion time. IV Drip Rate Calculator uses standard health formulas to compute accurate results instantly.

Calculation mode

Drip rate (drops/min)41.7
Pump rate (mL/h)125
Total drops10000

Steps

  1. 1液体量 V = 500 mL，滴系数 = 20 滴/mL，总滴数 = 500×20 = 10000 滴
  2. 2滴速（滴/分）= 总滴数 ÷ 时间 = 10000 ÷ 240 = 41.7 滴/分
  3. 3泵速（mL/h）= 500 ÷ (240 ÷ 60) = 125 mL/h
  • Formula: drip rate (drops/min) = volume × drop factor ÷ minutes; pump rate (mL/h) = drip rate ÷ drop factor × 60.
  • Drop factor depends on the set: 15 (blood), 20 (standard IV), 60 (micro-drip for pediatrics). Check the packaging.
  • Rounding: count drops to the nearest whole number per minute; tiny rounding gaps accumulate over long infusions.
  • Safety: infusion speed must follow the prescription — too fast risks circulatory overload (especially cardiac, renal, elderly, pediatric patients).
