Coating Coverage from Volume-Solids and DFT
Theoretical and practical coverage, gallons, and the wet-film thickness from a coating's volume-solids and a target dry-film thickness (SSPC/AMPP PA 2; 1604 constant).
Formula and source
theoretical = 1604 x (vol_solids/100) / dft; practical = theoretical x (1 - loss/100); gallons = area / practical; wft = dft / (vol_solids/100).
SSPC / AMPP PA 2 (dry-film thickness) and the 1604 ft^2-mil/gal coverage constant by name; first-principles film-build math.
