This calculator estimates the wet film thickness required to achieve a specified dry film thickness, taking into account the coating volume solids content and any thinner addition.
It is intended for field checks, project preparation, coating applicators, coating inspectors and quality personnel who need a simple reference before or during coating application.
DFT → WFT [Min to Max]
Effective volume solids: 70 %
WFT
Theoretical Minimum Wet Film Thickness
—
Calculated from the nominal dry film thickness.
Theoretical Maximum Wet Film Thickness
—
Calculated from the maximum dry film thickness.
| Parameter | Value Used |
|---|---|
| Formula without thinner | WFT = DFT ÷ (Volume Solids / 100) |
| Thinner correction | WFT = DFT × (1 + thinner / 100) ÷ (Volume Solids / 100) |
| Rounding | Values rounded to the nearest 10 µm |
Check the entered values: volume solids must be greater than 0%.
