| Drip chambers can be classified into macro-drip (about 10 to 20 [[Guttae (medical)|gtts]]/ml) and micro-drip (about 60 gtts/ml) based on their drop factors. For a given drip chamber (when the fluid drips from the hole into the chamber) drop factor means number of drops per ml of the IV fluid. Flow rate can be calculated with the help of the observations from the drip chamber and its drop factor. The unit of flow rate is gtts/min, where gtts means [[Guttae (medical)|guttae]] (Latin plural noun meaning “drops”). | Drip chambers can be classified into macro-drip (about 10 to 20 [[Guttae (medical)|gtts]]/ml) and micro-drip (about 60 gtts/ml) based on their drop factors.
