Converting from Drop, imperial (gtt) to Cubic micrometer (µm³)

What is Drop, imperial (gtt)

The imperial drop, often denoted as gtt, is a unit of volume used mainly in medicine and cooking. It is traditionally defined based on the volume of a drop of liquid, which can vary depending on the liquid and the method of dispensing it. However, for standard conversions, 1 drop (gtt) is universally accepted to equal approximately 9.865647×1010 cubic micrometers (µm³).

What is Cubic micrometer (µm³)

The cubic micrometer (µm³) is a metric unit of volume. It is a cube with each side measuring one micrometer (1 µm = 1×10−6 m). Being a very small unit, it is often used in fields like biology and materials science, where volumes of small particles or cells are measured. For conversion purposes, it is important to note that 1µm3 equates to 0.00000000001013618gtt.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from drops (gtt) to cubic micrometers (µm³), we use the following formula:

Conversely, to convert from cubic micrometers (µm³) back to drops (gtt):

Examples

1. Converting 1 Drop to Cubic Micrometer:

   Using the formula:

   Volume in µm³=1×98656470000=9.8656467×1010µm3

2. Converting 11 Drops to Cubic Micrometer:

   For 11 drops:

   Volume in µm³=11×98656470000=1.085221×1012µm3

3. Converting 16 Drops to Cubic Micrometer:

   For 16 drops:

   Volume in µm³=16×98656470000=1.578503×1012µm3

4. Converting 15 Cubic Micrometers to Drops:

   Using the inverse formula:

   Volume in gtt=15×0.00000000001013618=1.520427×10−11gtt

5. Converting 11 Cubic Micrometers to Drops:

   Using the inverse formula:

   Volume in gtt=11×0.00000000001013618=1.11498×10−10gtt

6. Converting 16 Cubic Micrometers to Drops:

   Using the inverse formula:

   Volume in gtt=16×0.00000000001013618=1.621789×10−10gtt
