Calculation Formula

Volume (liters) = Area (square meters) / Coverage Rate (square meters per liter)

Where:
Area = Length × Width
Coverage Rate is the amount of gel coat that can cover 1 square meter of surface area.

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the length of the surface in meters.
  2. Enter the width of the surface in meters.
  3. Enter the coverage rate of the gel coat in square meters per liter.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to get the area and volume of gel coat needed.
  5. Click the "Reset" button to clear all inputs and results.

Understanding the Coverage Rate

The coverage rate is the amount of gel coat that can cover 1 square meter of surface area. This value is provided by the gel coat manufacturer and can vary depending on the product.

Example Calculation

If you have a surface that is 5 meters long and 3 meters wide, and the gel coat has a coverage rate of 10 square meters per liter, the calculation would be:

Area = 5 meters × 3 meters = 15 square meters

Volume = 15 square meters / 10 square meters per liter = 1.5 liters

You would need 1.5 liters of gel coat to cover the surface.
