    For quick conversions of millilitres to drops and vice versa, you can either visit www.mycalcu.com style="font-weight: 400;"> or read the explanation below. Drops are denoted by the signs gt and gtt, respectively.

     

    9.86564670138889E-08 millilitres, or about 1/288 of an ounce of liquid, make up an Imperial drop. A medical drop is 1/12 mL, or 8.333333333E-08 m3, in volume. A US drop is equivalent to 1/360 US fluid ounce or 0.0821486932291667 m3.

     

    One drop is equivalent to 7.78866844846491E-08 cubic metres (1/1824 gi) in the Imperial system. A US drop can also be defined as 6.48542314967105E-08 m3, or 1/456 US fluid ounce.

     

    A drop (or "metric drop") is equal to 1/20 mL when measured in units of volume equal to 5108 millimetres. The gill, which has meanings in both Imperial and American customs (5 fluid ounces and 1 gill, respectively), is represented by the gi (4 US fl oz).
