How many drops equal to 1 ml?

Thanks guys and gals!

Generally around 25, 20 if you want to play is conservative.

If you ask mesocosm he'll tell you that temperature, humidity, liquid density and the position of the moon all effect drop size.....and he's right

I'm going to get you for that, Madison ... hehe ... :destroy:

You're just jealous because I know about "microEinsteins" ...

The appendix in Moe's The Marine Aquarium Reference (1992) says,
"20 Large Drops or 25 Small Drops = approximately 1 ml."

HTH ...

There is no such thing as "bed time" when you have one of those microscovideo things Gary has

[7thheaven]

When you dosing start1, Which tool do you use for it?

I use the syringe(for water) of salifert kit.. I am not sure it is OK...
The syringe for solution(?) is more accurate?

Good point Timon.

Gary has his microscovideo things and i have my garage full of plastic parts to design reactors. Back to the lab it is for me


Sorry Gary, I couldn't resist. You and I had just had this conversation when you were over here last and I know you were just dying to to use it

Vince, the Salifert's syringe/with attached taper-point is what I use also.
Madison/Gary you guys make me want to stop by on my way to see Steve's B-KBob

15 drops to 1 cc/ml

couldn't resist since this bit me for a while, drops from a salifert syringe with the fine tip on are about 1/3 the size of a regular drop..

some additional reading on drop sizes:

In either the US (Winchester) or the UK (Imperial) system of liquid measures, a drop is another name for a minim and there are 480 of these in a fluid ounce.

That's your first answer: if you have a volume in ounces, multiply by 480 to have the number of drops in it. However, since the US and UK ounces are slightly different, a drop is about 0.0616 cc in the US and 0.0592 cc in the UK.

The so-called metric drop is exactly 0.05 cc (20 metric drops to a cubic centimeter, or milliliter ).

Similar distinctions hold for teaspoons : A teaspoon is 1/6 of a fl oz (about 4.929 cc in the US and 4.7355 cc in the UK). So, there are exactly 80 drops to a teaspoon (in either the Imperial or the Winchester system). If you have a volume expressed in teaspoons, multiply by 80 to have the number of drops.

The metric teaspoon is slightly larger (5 cc) and the metric drop slightly smaller (0.05 cc) than the nonmetric counterparts, so there are exactly 100 metric drops in a metric teaspoon.

In a cubic centimeter or milliliter (cc, ml, or mL), there are exactly 20 metric drops and about 16 Winchester drops or 17 Imperial drops (more precise values being 16.23 and 16.89 respectively).

Bob, if you make it out to LA make sure to clear your day. There is plenty to do and see around here.
