Calculation Formula

Powder Required (lbs) = Surface Area (sq ft) * Coating Thickness (mil) * 0.00064516 * Powder Density (g/cu ft) / 453.592

Where:
- Surface Area: Area to be coated in square feet
- Coating Thickness: Thickness of the coating in mils (1 mil = 0.001 inches)
- Powder Density: Density of the powder coating in grams per cubic foot
- 0.00064516: Conversion factor from square inches to square feet
- 453.592: Conversion factor from grams to pounds

Powder Coating Rate Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Powder Coating Rate Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the surface area to be coated in square feet.
  2. Enter the desired coating thickness in mils.
  3. The powder density is pre-filled (25 g/cu ft for standard powder), but you can adjust it if needed.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to get the amount of powder required in pounds.
  5. Use the "Reset" button to clear all inputs and start over.

Working Principle

The calculator uses the following formula to estimate the amount of powder coating required:

Powder Required (lbs) = Surface Area (sq ft) * Coating Thickness (mil) * 0.00064516 * Powder Density (g/cu ft) / 453.592

This formula takes into account the surface area to be coated, the thickness of the coating, and the density of the powder to provide an accurate estimate of the amount of powder needed.
