Coating Calculator

The Coating Calculator has functions to compute the amounts of coating substance applied to a surface to protect, enhance, or provide specific properties. More than just paint, coatings can offer additional functionalities such as corrosion resistance, waterproofing, anti-fouling, thermal insulation, or electrical conductivity.

• Coating for a Foundation Wall: Computes the number of pails (5 gal) needed to coat a foundation wall based on the length and height.
• Concrete and Masonry Water-proofing: Computes the number of cans (1 gal) of concrete and masonry water-proofer needed to cover an area based on the width and height and number of coats.
• Corrugated Metal Panel Paint or Coating Volume: Computes the amount of paint or other coating (e.g., spray insulation) on an area of corrugated panels.
• Driveway Coating: Computes the number of pails (4.75 gal) needed to coat or seal a driveway.  It provides a minimum and maximum number of pails and the surface area in square feet, all based on the length and width of the driveway.
• Foundation Coating: Computes the number of pails (5 gal) needed to coat all four walls of a foundation. It provides a minimum and maximum number of pails and the surface area of the foundation below grade in square feet, all based on the length, width and height of foundation below grade.
• Pipe Coating Amount: Computes the amount of coating material for the exterior surface area of a pipe based on the pipe diameter, length and the thickness of the coating.
• Roof Coating: Computes the number of pails (e.g., 5 gal) needed to coat a flat roof.
