Data & Calculations

Nguyen Cong Thuan/JPS DNV Vinashin Training/ 2007


Technical data and calculations

• An inspector is required to be able to carry out


simple calculations related to the coatings, like WFT
vs. DFT, volumes required for specific jobs,
spreading rates, consumptions, simple cost
calculations, solid content and thinning, etc.
• Participants will be given the various formulations
for calculation and required data during this course.
• They must however know where to find such
information on their own once the course has
finished

Technical Data
• Most of the product data we need
for carrying out inspections and for
carrying out necessary calculations
can be found in the Technical Data
Sheets (TDS) and/or in the Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).

CALCULATIONS
• Can you calculate how high wet thickness to apply
of a product with 65% solid content that has been
diluted 15%, in order to achieve a dry film
thickness of 60 microns, and how much will the
total paint and thinner cost should when applying
two such coats on the outside of a cylindrical 8
meter high tank with diameter 12 meter, when the
loss is estimated to be 35% and the purchase price
is $8.25 for the paint and $2.90 for the thinner?

• You cannot? By the end of this course you should


be able to (might be included in the final
examination)

Calculations : Paint
Abbreviations

WFT = Wet Film Thickness


DFT = Dry Film Thickness
% VS = Percent Volume Solids
LF = Loss Factor
DV = Dead Volume

Wet Film calculations
• 1 litre covers 1 m2 in 1000 microns wet

• 1 litre covers 10 m2 in 100 microns wet

• RATIO: 1 : 1 : 1000

litre sq.meter wet film thickness

Meaning: Sq.m./ltr * WFT = 1000

Formula for determining the DFT

WFT x % VS
Formula: DFT = 100

Example:

WFT = 250 µm

% VS = 50 %

250 x 50
DFT = = 125 µm
100

Nguyen Cong Thuan/JPS DNV Vinashin Training/ 2007


Formula for determining the WFT

DFT x 100 %
Formula : WFT = % VS

Example:

DFT = 100 µm

% VS = 65 %

WFT = 100 x 100 % = 154 µm


65 %

Nguyen Cong Thuan/JPS DNV Vinashin Training/ 2007


Formula for determining the WFT after
thinning (Method 1)

Formula: WFT = DFT x (100 % + % thinner)


% VS

Example:
DFT = 100 µm
% VS = 65 %
Added thinner = 20 %

WFT = 100 x (100 % + 20 %) =185 µm


65 %

Nguyen Cong Thuan/JPS DNV Vinashin Training/ 2007


Formula for determining the WFT after
thinning (Method 2).
DFT = 100 microns
% VS = 65 %
Added thinner = 20 %
Volume of paint = 1 litre New % VS: 65 = 54 %
1,2
Volume of thinner = 0,2 litre
New volume = 1,2 litre

WFT = 100 % x 100 microns = 185 µm


54 %

Epoxy mastic 200 microns 85 %
Polyurethane topcoat 50 “ 50 %

Consumption of paint, no loss (1 of 2)

To be painted: Tank, area of 500 m2

Formula: Area, m2 x DFT


10 x % VS

Epoxy mastic 500 x 200 = 117,7 litre

Polyurethane topcoat = 50,0 litre

Consumption of Paint with loss

To be painted: Tank, area of 500 m2 , 40 % loss

40 % loss implies that only 60 % will remain on the surface.


The correction factor, Loss factor, will be 0.6

Formula: Area, m2 x DFT


10 x % VS x loss factor

500 x 200
Epoxy mastic 10 x 85 x 0,6 = 196 litre

Polyurethane topcoat 500 x 50 = 83 litre
