Simple unit conversion tool that helps you to convert drops of water (gtt Metric) to micro-grams of water(µg / mcg) and reverse.
What you should know about drops and micro-grams
How many drops are in a micro-gram of water?
1 gtt Metric = 50 µg / mcg
How many micro-grams are in one drop of water?
1 µg / mcg = 0.02 gtt Metric
Definition of drops of water provided by WikiPedia
The drop is a unit of measure of volume, the amount dispensed as one drop from a dropper or drip chamber. It is often used in giving quantities of liquid drugs to patients, and occasionally in cooking. The volume of a drop is not well-defined: it depends on the device and technique used to produce the drop, on the strength of the gravitational field, and on the density and the surface tension of the liquid
Definition of micro-gram of water provided by SMARTe.org
Concentrations of chemicals in water are typically measured in units of the mass of chemical (milligrams, mg or micrograms, ug) per volume of water (liter, L, l).
Legend:
- gtt Metric – drops of water
- µg / mcg – micro-grams of water
