DFT Calculations

DFT = %VS X WFT AREA = VOLUME X 1000

100 WFT

1. What would be the DFT if 20 Litres of paint, with 45% VS covered an area
of 9m x 12m
WFT = 20 X 1000 = 185.19µm
108m²

DFT = 45 X 185.19 = 83.33µm

100

2. 25 Litres of paint, with 65% VS was used to cover a circular area of 10m
diameter
What would be the resulting DFT
WFT = 25 X 1000 = 25000 = 318.47µm
Π X radius² 3.142 x 5 x 5
DFT = 65 X 318.47 = 207µm

3. What DFT would be obtained if a paint with 42% VS was applied at a WFT of
84µm
42 X 84 = 35.28µm
100

4. With a WFT of 130µm, using a paint containing 83% VS, What would be the
resulting DFT.
83 X 130 = 107.9µm
100

5. If a paint with a VS of 65% was applied at a WFT of 130µm, What would be

the resulting DFT.
65 X 130 = 84.5µm
