I.D. Pipe Coating Speed Calculator
This tool helps you determine the proper spray speed for coating the internal diameter (I.D.) of a pipe. The calculation assumes a single pass (typically from back to front).
Pipes can be coated using a variety of tools—visit our I.D. Coating Equipment page to explore available options.
Instructions for measuring your flow volume and spray time can be found here.

* Transfer efficency is very hard to calculate. We must assume that some of the coating gets lost as overspray. An acceptable number to use is 95%.
