Calculation method

Calculation method

Paint requirement (litres)

Paint uses area×coats/coverage; beads use one entered application per finished marking area.

Bead requirement (kg)

Paint uses area×coats/coverage; beads use one entered application per finished marking area.

Marking area (m²)

Paint uses area×coats/coverage; beads use one entered application per finished marking area.

Symbols and units
a
Marking lengths (m)
b
Marking widths (m)
c
Coats (count)
d
Supplier paint coverage (m²/litre/coat)
e
Bead application rate (kg/m²)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Paint uses area×coats/coverage; beads use one entered application per finished marking area. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
