How many drops in one teaspoonful and a 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, liquid in tea and tablespoons.

The savvy in life helps out in the most ordinary and at the same time banal situations. For example, the lack of a dispenser on a container with a drug does not mean that you can not measure the right amount of its drops.

Several centuries ago, one of the measuring instruments was a teaspoon. And knowing the volume of the dining room, it is easy to count the number of drops of liquid in the larger side.

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

How many drops in one teaspoon of medicine, liquid?

liquid medicine drips into a teaspoon to determine the number of drops in it

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

• the size of a teaspoon. The Russian standard is 5 ml. And, for example, English - 3.5 ml,
• type of liquid, its viscosity, the force of surface tension. This is water or other transparent substance of a similar consistency, or thick pomegranate juice, a pharmacy chatter,
• type of container from which you will drip. The smaller the diameter of the neck, the smaller the drop in terms of milliliters, the
• approximate volume of the liquid drop. For example, a drop of water tightens to 0.04 ml, a thick beater and oily liquid to 0.06 ml, alcoholic infusion - 0.02 ml. The figures are approximate, but close to the truth.

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

• water 5 / 0,04 = 125
• alcohol tincture 5 / 0,02 = 250
• oily solution 5 / 0,06 = 83

How many drops in one tablespoon of medicine, liquid?

in a tablespoon filled with liquid

The answer to this question lies in the volume of a tablespoon. As a rule, they make 15 ml, that is 3 times more than the volume of tea.

Therefore, the calculation of the number of drops is as follows:

• water 125x3 = 375 pcs.
• alcoholic infusion 250х3 = 750 pcs.
• oily liquid 83x3 = 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 Echinacea, Leonurus, Valerian, Eleutherococcus?

boxes with liquid medications that do not have a dispenser

In any pharmacy the most affordable medicines are alcohol tinctures of herbs Echinacea, Leonurus, Valerian, Eleutherococcus.

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

Since the doctor prescribes the administration of these drugs in drops, you should understand their amount in a teaspoonful.

Operate in 2 ways:

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

In the first case, everything is simple. You easily count the drops, and follow the doctor's instructions exactly.

In the second version, you will get an approximate value of the drops. Alcoholic infusions have a smaller volume index of 1 drop than, for example, pure water. In the first section, we considered this in detail.

So, the answer to the question - in a teaspoon contains 250 drops of alcohol tincture.

There is an alternative view that the volume of its droplet is approximately equal to the volume of a drop of water. Then the amount of them in a teaspoonful of 5 ml is 125.

How many drops in a tablespoon of alcohol tincture?

jar with alcohol infusion of calendula

Accordingly, in a tablespoon of alcohol tincture in the drops will be 3 times more, namely 250x3 = 750 drops.

Based on the alternative opinion - 125x3 = 375 pieces.

If the oily components of medicinal plants are present in the alcohol tincture, then reduce the value by 15%.That will be 637 and 319 drops, respectively.

How many drops of butter are in the dining room and a teaspoonful?

oil in a tablespoon to determine the amount of its drops

The oil is more dense or flowing in its structure. Because the indicator of the number of its drops in the tea / dining boats is different.

Calculation for dense oil, for example, burdock:

• teaspoon - 5: 0,3 = 13 pcs.
• dining room - 3x17 = 39 pcs.

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

• teaspoon - 5: 0,4 = 17 pcs.
• dining room - 3x17 = 51 pcs.

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

Iodine consistency is similar to water, hence the volume of their droplets is approximately the same.

If you assume that 1 ml contains 20-22 drops of a similar liquid, then iodine in:

• a teaspoon will be 100-110 pcs.
• dining room - 300-330 pcs.

How many drops of hydrogen peroxide in a teaspoon?

hydrogen peroxide is measured with a teaspoon before taking

How many drops of Corvalol in a teaspoon?

Corvalol in a liquid state is similar to water. After taking the volume of its drop for 0,035 ml, you will receive the answer about the number of drops in a teaspoon:

• 5: 0.035 = 143 pcs.

For convenience of further calculations, assume a value equal to 140 drops.

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

First, the answer depends on the type and viscosity of the fluid that you need to drip. Let's say that this is the most fluid representative of alcoholic tinctures.

It is contained in a teaspoon in the range of 125-250 drops. This we have established in the sections above.

Then the answers to the current question are as follows:

• 50 drops - this is half / third of a teaspoon
• 40 drops - 1/3 teaspoon 1/6 teaspoon
• 30 drops - quarter or 1/8
• 20 drops - 1/6 or 1/12
• 15 drops - 1/8 or 1/17

Fractional values ​​are more difficult to determine by eye. Therefore, use an additional test of your eye in one of the methods of the section below.

How to measure 30 drops without a pipette?

30 drops of oily medicine in a tablespoon

There are several methods:

• find an empty container with a dispenser from the used medicine, wash it, dry it and pass what you need to measure in drops,
• use a straw for the cocktail. Type liquid into it, press the edge with your finger free, gently drip into an empty glass / spoon and count
• dipped your finger and count the drops dripping from it,
• use a regular or insulin syringe. Type 1 cube and count in a dry drop container. If necessary, add the medication into the syringe and repeat the manipulation,
• fill up the tablespoon with liquid to the brim and slowly drip it into the tea. The method is good, if you need to measure a few drops of anything,
• pour into a teaspoon 1 mm below the edge. Depending on the type of medicine, an error of 2-3 drops in the larger side may not be critical.

Observe the type, viscosity, strength of the drug / liquid that you measure. For example, if it is antipyretic, that without an accurate dispenser you can not do.

So, we have considered ways of measuring liquids without a dispenser on their bottles, and also calculated the number of drops of various medicines for tea and table spoons.

It is better to measure the result 1 time with a syringe, then quickly spoon the correct amount of medicine.
