About this calculator

Use this calculator for a gravity set: ml/h = volume ÷ hours, and gtt/min = ml/h × drop factor ÷ 60. Macro sets are often 20 gtt/ml; micro sets are often 60 gtt/ml.

Volume can be entered in millilitres (ml) or fluid ounces (floz). Hours stay in hours. This is not a pump programming check.

Volume: Bag or prescribed volume, in ml or floz.

Hours: Infusion duration in hours.

Drop factor (gtt/ml): Set calibration, often 20 or 60.

ml / h: Hourly volume rate.

gtt / min: Drops per minute.
