CALCULATION OF
Theoretical Spreading Rate (On Completely smooth surface)
In M² per liter = Volume % x 10 In Sq. Feet per US gallon = Vol. Sol % x 16.05
Desired DFT (Micron) Desired DFT (mil)
Theoretical Paint Consumption (On Completely smooth surface)
In liter = Area (M²) x Desired DFT (Micron)
Volume Solid % x 10
In US Gallon = Area (sq. Ft) x Desired DFT (Mil)
Volume Solid x 16.05
Actual Paint Consumption (On Completely smooth surface)
In liter = Area (M²) x Desired DFT (Micron) x loss factor %
Volume Solid % x 10
In US Gallon = Area (sq. Ft) x Desired DFT (Mil) x loss factor %
Volume Solid x 16.05
DFT = VS % x W VS % = DFT x 100 W = DFT x 100
100 W VS %

Formulas for Estimating Surface areas of Ships
Bottom (Incl. Boot Top): A = ((2 x d) + B) x Lpp x P
Where : d = draught Maximum (as per Lloyd’s)
B = Breath Extreme (as per Lloyd’s)
LPP = Length between perpendiculars (as per Lloyd’s)
0.90 for Big Tanker
P = 0.85 for Bulk Carriers
0. 70 – 0.75 for Dry Cargo liners
Boot Top A = 2 x h x (Lpp + 0.5 B)
Where h = Width of Boot Top (to be Inform by Owner)
LPP = Length between perpendiculars (as per Lloyd’s)
B = Breath Extreme (as per Lloyd’s)
Topside A = 2 x H (Loa + 0.5 B)
Where H = Height of Topside (Depth – draught) (as per Lloyd’s)
Loa = Length Over All (as per Lloyd’s)
B = Breath Extreme (as per Lloyd’s)
Weather Deck Incl. A = Loa x B x N
Upper Deck on Super Structure (The accuracy depends on your choice
Foundations, Hatches of N which indicates the actual
And Top of Deck Houses area in relation to this circumscribed rectangular
Where Loa = Length over all (as per Lloyd’s)
B = Breath Extreme (as per Lloyd’s)
N = 0.92 for Big Tanker and Bulk Carriers
0.88 for Cargo Liners
0.85 for Coater, etc
