The flow rate calculator is designed to aid in both solving and confirming a few simple calculations regarding conversions. Given a volume (in cc), a time (in hours) in which the volume will be administered, and a dropper conversion (gtts/cc), this app will calculate the flow rate to be set. For example, if you have a 100 cc volume to be administered over 1 hour using a 15 drops/cc conversion. the calculation goes as follows:
100 cc * 15 gtts/cc 1500 gtts 25 gtts
_________________ = _________ = ______
1 hour * 60 min/hour 60 min 1 min
This means you can set your flow rate to 25 gtts/min.
