Calculation of paint for the
pipe To avoid mistake and buy the required amount of paint, you need to make a calculation. Often uses the standard formula - compare the paint consumption per one square meter and the surface area required by the painting. In most cases, this formula is on the label banks, so it's difficult to make a mistake. The area of the painted surface after the fact - the pipe - is calculated as the area of the cylinder. From here you can learn how to calculate the volume of a pipe. The resulting formula defines this value as the product of the pipe length by the circumference of the product cross-section. By results, you can determine the amount of paint you need.
Types of paint
Distinguish:
- oil paint( for a standpipe of cold water),
- nitro enamel,
- water-based,
- lead surrey.
Before buying paint - read the instructions on the label of the can.
Direct painting of pipes
You do not need to invite specialists, builders, etc. for this. Paintwork is simple and does not require special physical and intellectual features. The main thing:
- does not paint on the out-of-date paint layer, on rust,
- it is not recommended to paint a cold pipe, condensate remains on the bottom of the pipe, which will not allow to perform qualitative painting( you need to heat the pipes a little).Particular attention should be given to chimneys, they should be painted in the warm season, in no case should it be used,
- after grinding, it is necessary to apply a primer to the surface of the pipe, this will improve the reaction of metal and paint,
- use a variety of tools for painting: brushes,cartridges, rollers, hot pipes should be sprayed with a spray gun,
- change the direction of the strokes, this will allow the paint to be applied to the surface more qualitatively,
- always calculate the pipe volume and paint consumption,will in the future avoid unnecessary money waste.
Remove the paint from the pipes( in case of the wrong coloring effect) wight spirits will help. Use it preferably in gloves in compliance with technical standards.
