    The document provides information on how to estimate the quantity of paint required for painting a pipe. It outlines the key factors that determine paint quantity, including the pipe diameter, length, required dry film thickness, paint solids content, and expected wastage during application. It then shows the calculations for determining the theoretical and actual paint quantities for painting a 100 meter pipe with a 70 micron dry film thickness using conventional spray painting with a 60% solids paint. The actual paint quantity was calculated to be 13.3 liters after accounting for the typical 30% wastage from spray painting.

    Explanation
    Required paint quantity for painting of a pipe depends on following factors :

    Pipe Diameter.
    Length of Pipe.
    Required Dry Film Thickness (DFT).
    Percentage of Solids content in a given paint.
    Wastage of paint during painting which is based on type of painting method used.
    Wet Paint Thickness
    When paint is applied to pipe, it is in wet condition with volatile organic compounds. When it dries, all
    volatile components goes away leaving only solids component behind. So to achieve particular dry
    film thickness, higher thickness of wet film is required is is calculated as :

    Wet Film Thickness (WFT) = DFT/Fraction of Solids.

    Theoretical Paint Quantity


    Theoretical Paint quantity is calculated by multiplying total surface area to be painted with wet film
    thickness.

    Theoretical Paint Quantity = Surface Area X WFT.

    Wastage
    During painting process, some amount of paint gets wasted which depends on method of paint
    application. Typical wastage percentages are :

    Brush or Roller Painting : 10%.


    Airless Spray Painting : 20%.
    Conventional Spray Painting : 30%
    So, we have to add wastage to calculated paint quantity to get actual paint quantity.

    Actual Paint Quantity = Theoretical Paint Quantity / Fraction of Solids in Paint.


    Example Calculation
    Pipe of nominal pipe diameter 10″ to be painted with Inorganic Zinc Silicate Coating with solids
    percentage of 60%. Required dry film thickness is 70 microns. Method of application is conventional
    Spray Painting. Calculate amount of paint required for length of 100 meters.

    Pipe Dia in mm (D) = 10″ X 25.4 = 254mm.


    Length of Pipe (L) = 100 meters = 100000 mm.
    Surface area of pipe for one meter (A) = Pi X D = 3.141 X 254 = 0.797814 Sq. MM. (It is not necessary
    to take actual pipe outside diameter from pipe data tables. Difference is negligible.)
    Total Surface Area = A X L = 797.814 X 10000 0= 79781400 Sq.MM.
    Required Dry Film Thickness (DFT) = 70 microns = 0.07 mm.
    Fraction of Solids in Paint (S) = Solids Percent/100 = 60/100 = 0.6
    Welt Film Thickness (WFT) = (DFT/S) = 0.07/0.6 = 0.1167 mm.
    Theoretical volume of paint required = Total Surface Area X WFT = 79781400 X 0.1167 = 9310489
    Cubic MM. = 9.310489 Liters.
    For conventional spray painting method, estimated wasted is around 30%. So only 70% paint gets
    used for actual painting. So amount of actual paint required is theoretical paint quantity divided by
    fraction of actual paint usage.
    Actual Paint Volume = Theoretical Paint Volume/0.7 = 9.310489/0.7 = 13.3 Liters.
