Coating Calculator — Complete Guide to All 36 Painting and Surface Tools
Coating Calculator is your one-stop online platform offering 36 specialized tools to help with every aspect of painting, coating, and surface preparation. Whether you need to measure film thickness, estimate paint quantity, calculate surface area, or check adhesion suitability, this tool kit makes it simple and accurate for everyone—even if you are new to painting.
Here’s an easy-to-understand guide on how to use each of these 36 tools.
Dry Film Thickness (DFT) & Wet Film Thickness (WFT) Calculators
Dry Film Thickness (DFT) Calculator: Enter the Wet Film Thickness and Volume Solids % to find out the dry thickness of the paint after drying.
Wet Film Thickness (WFT) Calculator: Reverse calculate how thick the wet paint must be to achieve a desired dry film thickness based on solids content.
These tools ensure you apply the right paint thickness for long-lasting protection.
Paint Quantity, Coverage & Consumption
Paint Quantity Calculator: Calculate the liters of paint needed by entering surface area, coverage rate, and number of coats.
Paint Coverage Calculator: Find how many square meters your available paint volume can cover based on coverage rate.
Paint Consumption Calculator: Shows the amount of paint required per square meter.
Paint Cost Calculator: Estimate the total cost by combining volume of paint and price per liter.
Paint Waste Estimator: Account for paint lost during application like spraying, rolling, or brushing.
Coating Cost Calculator: Calculates the total coating cost by including paint price, labor, equipment, and material waste. It helps estimate the full project cost accurately, allowing for better budgeting and cost control on any coating job. Paint Waste Estimator: Account for paint lost during application like spraying, rolling, or brushing.
These calculators help you buy enough paint while saving money and limiting waste.
Surface Area Tools
Surface Area Calculator: For flat surfaces using length and width.
Pipe Surface Area Calculator: Calculates the outer surface area of pipes using length and diameter.
I-Beam Surface Area Calculator: Measures surface area for beams using length, depth, flange, and web size.
These help when dealing with complex shapes in industrial coating.
Film & Coating Thickness and Profile
Spreading Rate Calculator: Calculates how much area a given paint volume will cover at a specific dry film thickness.
Thickness Calibration Calculator: Compares measured thickness with actual thickness to find calibration factor.
Film Thickness Gauge Tool: Corrects measured thickness using a calibration factor.
Dry Film Thickness (DFT) Calculator and Wet Film Thickness (WFT) Calculator are part of this group.
Surface Profile Calculator & Surface Profile Gauge Tool: Calculate the average roughness of a surface before coating.
Foil Dry Coat-Weight Calculator: Measures how much dry coating is applied per unit area using foil samples.
Anilox Coat-Weight Calculator: For printing and coating devices, measures applied coat weight using roller volume, transfer efficiency, solids, and density.
These ensure that coatings are applied evenly and within specifications.
Environmental & Drying Conditions
Drying Time Calculator: Find out how long paint takes to dry based on temperature and humidity.
Dew Point Calculator: Helps avoid painting when surface temperature is close to dew point, preventing coating failure.
Relative Humidity Calculator: Calculates moisture in the air from vapor pressure data.
VOC Content Calculator: Measures volatile organic compounds in paint which affect safety and regulations.
Monitoring these factors helps secure durable and safe coatings.
Adhesion and Hardness Tests
Adhesion Test Calculator: Interprets test scores between 1 and 10 for paint adhesion quality.
Film Hardness Calculator: Checks if the coating has cured sufficiently based on hardness and curing time.
Fit & Adhesion Suitability Tool: Matches substrate types like steel, aluminum, or plastic with suitable coatings, e.g., epoxy or acrylic.
These tools ensure the coating will stick well and last longer.
Mixing and Ratios
Mixing Ratio Calculator: For two-part coatings like epoxies, determines the ratio of part A to part B for correct mixing.
Pot Life Calculator: Estimates how long mixed paint remains usable based on volume and usage rate.
Correct mixing prevents coating defects and wasted materials.
Special Coating Calculators
Coat-Weight Calculator: Measures how much coating is applied per square meter by weighing samples.
Holiday Detector (Test Voltage) Calculator: Suggests test voltage for coating holiday (pinholes) detection based on film thickness.
Varnish Coverage Calculator: Calculates how much area varnish will cover, accounting for surface absorbency.
Screen Coating Usage Estimator: Estimates paint usage for screen printing based on mesh size and number of impressions.
UV/EB Coating Calculator: Calculates coverage for ultraviolet or electron beam cured coatings based on volume, rate, and roller efficiency.
Ideal for specialized and industrial coating processes.
Additional Surface & Coating Measures
Color Coverage Calculator: Finds the effective coverage area considering paint amount, coverage rate, and opacity factor.
Primer/Adhesive Quantity Calculator: Helps estimate how much primer or adhesive is needed based on surface area and usage rate.
These tools assist in planning the right amount of coating materials.
Tip Size for Spray Painters:
Enter the spray tip number, spray fan width, and spray pressure to determine the optimal tip size for your spray gun. This tool helps ensure proper coating thickness and even coverage by matching your equipment’s capabilities with the job requirements.
