The Bottle Coating Amount calculator computes the amount of coating material to cover the surface area of a bottle.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following  (see diagram):

  • (a) Radius at Top Bottle
  • (h2) Height of Tapered Neck
  • (b) Base Radius
  • (h1)  Height of Base 
  • (t) Coating Thickness
  • (n) Number of Bottles

Bottle Coating Volume (V): The calculator returns the volume of material in liters (milliliters).  However, these can be automatically converted to many other area units (e.g. square inches or even acres) via the pull-down menu.

The Math

The formula used in this calculator is as follows:

      A=π(a+b)h22+(b-a)2+2πbh1+πb2

The surface area (A)  includes several geometric shapes: the tapered neck, the cylindrical body and the circular bottom.  You can see this in the three components of the formula:

NOTES

Geometrically, a bottle shaped object is the combination of right circular cone with a frustum defined by base radius (a) and top radius (b) and height (h2) in between and a cylinder of radius (b) and height (h1).  The surface area is the sum of the surface of the cone frustum, the cylinder and the circle of the bottom.  Note: this leave no surface area for the opening at the top.
