How many square meters can one kilogram of paint cover?

Our company needs to paint the pipes and frames to prevent corrosion. I would like to ask the experts: how many coats should be applied, and how many square meters can be painted per kilogram per coat?

The question should be phrased like this: My facility’s pipes and frames require anti-corrosion treatment. What are the specific requirements for this anti-corrosion protection? For example, how many years are the pipes supposed to last? What environment the pipeline is in, such as whether it contains high-temperature media or normal-temperature media. Is it above ground or buried? That’s about it; those who specialize in anti-corrosion coatings will provide you with a good plan, as well as an approximate amount needed and a quote. Here is a simple anti-corrosion solution for you: 1 layer of epoxy iron oxide primer, or 2 layers of epoxy limonite primer; the dry film thickness should be 80 microns. The theoretical usage rate is 4 square meters per kilogram, but in practice it may range from 2 to 3 square meters per kilogram. Brush coating is very material-saving. 2 coats of acrylic topcoat; dry film thickness of 70 microns. Color is adjustable and determined by the customer. The theoretical usage is 5.5 square meters per kilogram, while the actual usage may range from 3 to 4.5 square meters per kilogram. In a normal corrosion environment, after grinding and painting, this system should hold up for about 3 years without problems. Here is a table showing the usage specifications for our company’s products, based primarily on a dry film thickness of 40 microns. Product Name, Dry Film Thickness, Theoretical Amount, Theoretical Amount, Actual Amount (kg/m2), (μm), (m2/kg), (kg/m2), Loss: 1.3, Loss: 1.5, Loss: 1.8. Water-based inorganic zinc-rich coating: 40, 5.5, 0.182, 0.24, 0.27, 0.33. Epoxy zinc-rich primer: 40, 6.0, 0.167, 0.22, 0.25, 0.30. Epoxy iron oxide anti-rust primer: 40, 9.0, 0.111, 0.14, 0.17, 0.20. Epoxy ferrosilicate anti-rust primer: 40, 9.0, 0.111, 0.14, 0.17, 0.20. Epoxy phosphate sealant: 20, 9.0, 0.056, 0.07, 0.08, 0.10. Epoxy oil-resistant antistatic coating: 40, 10.0, 0.100, 0.13, 0.15, 0.18. Epoxy glass flake primer: 40, 9.0, 0.111, 0.14, 0.17, 0.20. Epoxy ferrosilicate intermediate coat: 40, 8.8, 0.114, 0.15, 0.17, 0.20. Acrylic polyurethane topcoat: 40, 10.2, 0.098, 0.13, 0.15, 0.18. Epoxy polyamide topcoat: 40, 10.8, 0.093, 0.12, 0.14, 0.17. Epoxy thick paste coating: 40, 10.8, 0.093, 0.12, 0.14, 0.17. Epoxy oil-resistant antistatic topcoat: 40, 10.5, 0.095, 0.12, 0.14, 0.17. Epoxy glass flake topcoat: 40, 10.5, 0.095, 0.12, 0.14, 0.17. Acrylic topcoat: 40, 8.5, 0.118, 0.15, 0.18, 0.21. Last edited by Lilong Coatings on 2009-3-9 20:43.]

Thank you, I was also looking for something in this area

You are asking about the usual anti-corrosion methods used on the ground, namely manual and electric rust removal; the amount of primer required is 0.3 kilograms per square meter, while that for the topcoat is 0.2 kilograms per square meter.
