How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter Part surface area (sq ft), Target DFT (mils), and Bath voltage (V).
  2. Set Bath solids (%), Immersion time (sec), and Bath temperature (°F).
  3. Adjust Parts per hour as needed.
  4. Review Predicted DFT (mils) and Daily paint usage (gal).
  5. Use Average current (amps) and Current density (ASF) to inform your decision.
