Information
After completing the installation of pipe communications, whether aboveground or underground pipelines, it becomes necessary to paint the pipes. This is done to prevent corrosion and deterioration of steel pipelines. The online calculator will help calculate the pipe's surface area and the paint consumption for painting the pipe's surface. The program quickly and accurately determines the pipe painting area; you only need to enter the available dimensions into the calculator menu fields.
Functions of the Pipe Calculation Calculator
The pipe surface area calculator for painting is an online program consisting of the following blocks:
- two fields for entering pipe dimensions;
- an additional function "Calculate paint consumption";
- two output fields for displaying the calculated results;
- reference information with a pipe sketch, formula, and explanation of designations.
The pipe painting calculator allows you to calculate:
- the surface area of the pipe;
- the required amount of paint.
In addition, the final result can be saved as a PDF file or printed with one click of a button.
How the Calculator Works
To obtain the calculated pipe surface area and paint consumption, enter the following data into the program menu fields:
- specify the outer diameter in mm;
- specify the length in meters;
To get the required amount of paint, check the box "Calculate paint consumption" and:
- specify the paint consumption based on the average consumption rate (i) in g/m²;
After this, the calculator will automatically provide the final result: the pipe surface area in square meters and the required amount of paint in grams.
With this tool, you can calculate the needed amount of paint, enamel, varnish, and other coating materials for heating pipes and gas pipes. The consumption of all materials is specified in the product description. The tool is indispensable for calculating pipe painting, and you can also use it to convert inch pipes to outer diameter. The online paint consumption calculator will always accurately help determine the required amount of material, whether it is paint for polypropylene pipes, oil paint, or any other. For calculations, you need the pipe length and diameter, and then the calculator will provide the pipe surface area.
IMPORTANT! To use the pipeline for a long time without repairs, several rules should be followed: clean off rust, degrease the pipe surface, and apply at least two layers of paint: a base primer and a final finish coat. You can skip all these procedures except for degreasing by using a special 3-in-1 rust-resistant paint, which includes primer, paint, and rust converter.
Reference
Pipe (water and gas supply) – a type of rolled metal product, a long hollow welded product with a circular cross-section. It is used for water and gas pipelines, heating systems, and for manufacturing components of water and gas pipeline systems.
The online calculator allows you to easily determine the pipe painting area by diameter and length. The external surface area of the pipe, or outer area, is calculated using the formula of the circumference multiplied by the length. Thus, you can calculate the painting area of a pipe section in square meters. This is convenient for accurately determining the necessary amount of coating materials for painting.
