1) LARGE SURFACES : hull, decks, deckhouses, tanks, holds


2) SMALL SURFACES : masts, water ways, machinery, structural steel and complex structures
3) FRAMEWORK : ladders, piping and railings
4) PRIMERS : consumption of first coat is always higher than for subsequent coats because of the steel profile

Estimation of volume of paint necessary for a paint job can be calculated from:
10 x A x DFT = Q
VS x (100-W) EXAMPLE
Q = quantity in litre Q = to be calculated
A = area in m² A = 1000 m²
DFT = dry film thickness DFT = 100 µm
VS = % volume solids (see data sheet) VS = 50%
W = estimated losses (see table) W = 40%
10 x 1000 x 100
Q = = 333 ltr.
50 x (100-40)
