Answer to Question 1

30 drops per minute. Microdrip tubing (60 drops per mL) delivers the same number of drops per minutes as mL per hr.

Answer to Question 2

Microdrip tubing has smaller diameter and delivers smaller drops (60 drops per mL). Macrodrip tubing has larger diameter and delivers larger drops (10, 15, or 20 drops per mL).
