How many drops in one teaspoon and tablespoon of medicine, tincture, liquid? How to measure 30 drops in a spoon without a pipette?

Mathematical and other ways to determine the number of drops of medicine, fluid in tea and tablespoons.

Satort in life helps out in the most ordinary and at the same time banal situations. For example, the absence of a dispenser on a container with medicine does not mean that you cannot measure the right amount of its drops.

A few centuries ago, a teaspoon was taken by one of the measuring instruments. And knowing the volume of the dining room, it is easy to count the number of drops of the liquid upstairs.

How to do this with the help of improvised means and mathematical calculations - we will consider in more detail.

How many drops in one teaspoon of medicine, liquid?

If you go from afar to answer the question, then you should take into account a number of parameters:

• the size of the teaspoon. The Russian standard is 5 ml. And, for example, English - 3.5 ml,
• type of fluid, its viscosity, surface tension. This is water or other transparent substance of a similar consistency, or thick grenade juice, a chatterbox from a pharmacy,
• the type of capacity from which you will drip. The smaller she has the diameter of the neck, the smaller the drop is in terms of milliliters,
• the approximate volume of a drop of fluid. For example, a drop of water adds to 0.04 ml, thick talker and oily liquid by 0.06 ml, alcohol infusion - 0.03 ml. The numbers are approximate, but close to the truth.

Then we will use the mathematical calculation. So, a teaspoon of 5 ml contains drops:

• water 5/0.04 \u003d 125
• alcohol tincture 5/0.03 \u003d 150
• oily solution 5/0.06 \u003d 83

How many drops in one tablespoon of medicine, liquid?

The answer to this question lies in the volume of the tablespoon. Standardly, they make up 15 ml, that is, 3 times larger than the volume of tea.

Therefore, the calculation of the number of drops is this:

• water 125x3 \u003d 375 pcs.
• alcohol infusion 150x3 \u003d 450 pcs.
• oily liquid 83x3 \u003d 249 pcs.

If you rely on the recommendations of the pharmaceutical industry, then take the volume of any liquid equal to 0.05 ml.

How many drops in a teaspoon of alcohol tincture of echinacea, motherwort, valerian, eleutherococcus?

In any pharmacy, the most affordable drugs are alcohol tinctures of herbs of echinacea, motherwort, valerian, eleutherococcus.

And often the bottles in which they are sold have a moderately wide neck without a dispenser.

Since the doctor prescribes taking these drugs in drops, you should understand their quantity in a teaspoon.

Act in 2 ways:

• use a pipette or a disposable syringe
• pour into a spoon directly from the container

In the first case, everything is simple. You can easily count the drops, and accurately follow the doctor’s order.

In the second option, you will have the approximate value of drops. Alcohol infusions have a smaller volume of 1 drop than, for example, pure water. In the first section, we examined this in detail.

So, the answer to the question is that a teaspoon contains 150 drops of alcohol tincture.

There is an alternative opinion that the volume of its drops is approximately equal to the volume of a drop of water. Then their amount in a teaspoon of 5 ml is 125.

How many drops in a tablespoon of alcohol tincture?

Accordingly, in a tablespoon of alcohol tincture in drops there will be 3 times more, namely 150x3 \u003d 450 drops.

Based on an alternative opinion - 125x3 \u003d 375 pieces.

If the oily components of medicinal plants are present in alcohol tincture, then reduce the value higher by 15%. It will be 383 and 319 drops, respectively.

How many drops of oil in the dining room and teaspoon?

Oil in its structure is more dense or fluid. Therefore, the indicator of the amount of its drops in tea/table boats differs.

Calculation for dense oil, for example, burdock:

• tea spoon - 5: 0.3 \u003d 13 pcs.
• dining room - 3x17 \u003d 39 pcs.

Calculation for more liquid oil, for example, refined sunflower:

• tea spoon - 5: 0.4 \u003d 17 pcs.
• dining room - 3x17 \u003d 51 pcs.

How many drops of iodine in the dining room and teaspoon?

Iodine in consistency is similar to water, which means the volume of their drops is approximately the same.

If we accept that 1 ml contains 20-22 drops of such a liquid, then iodine B:

• dining room-300-330 pcs.

For the convenience of further calculations, take the value equal to 140 drops.

30, 20, 15, 40, 50 drops - how much is in a teaspoon?

• 30 drops - a quarter or 1/5
• 20 drops - 1/6 or 1/7
• 15 drops - 1/8 or 1/10

It is more difficult to determine fractional values \u200b\u200bby eye. Therefore, use additionally checking your eye -player in one of the methods of the section below.

How to measure 30 drops without a pipette?

There are several methods:

• find an empty container with a dispenser from the drug used, wash it, dry and convey what needs to be measured in drops,
• use a cocktail straw. Pick the liquid into it, press the edge with your finger, carefully drip into an empty glass/spoon and consider it,
• dip your finger and calculate the drops flowing from it,
• use an ordinary or insulin syringe. Dial 1 cube and count the drops in dry containers. If necessary, add the medicine to the syringe and repeat the manipulation,
• fill a tablespoon with liquid to the edges and slowly drip it into a tea. The method is good if you need to measure a few drops of something,
• pour into a teaspoon 1 mm below the edge. Depending on the type of medicine, an error of 2-3 drops in the larger direction may not be critical.

Consider the type, viscosity, the strength of the medicine/fluid that you measure. For example, if it is an antipyretic that you can’t do without an accurate dispenser.

So, we examined the methods of measuring liquids in the absence of a dispenser on their bottles, and also calculated the number of drops of various drugs for tea and tablespoons.

It is better to measure the result 1 time with a syringe, so that then quickly draw the right amount of medicine in a spoon.
