How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the product VOC content (g/L) from the coating's Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
  2. Input the regulatory VOC limit (g/L) for your product category and jurisdiction.
  3. Enter the total volume of product to be used (gal) and application rate (sq ft/gal).
  4. Review the Compliant status indicator and VOC Exceedance (g/L) if over the limit.
  5. Compare Total VOC Emitted against Permitted Emission to confirm project compliance.

What each input means

Product VOC Content
VOC content of the coating product in grams per liter (from SDS).
Regulatory Limit
Local or federal VOC limit for this product category in g/L.
Volume Used
Total gallons of product to be used on the project.
Application Rate
Coverage rate used to estimate area coated.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Product VOC Content = 200, Regulatory Limit = 250, Volume Used = 50, Application Rate = 300 = 4 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Compliant
    Compliant
    1 = 1
  3. Calculate Total VOC Emitted
    Total VOC Emitted
    37850 = 37850
  4. Calculate VOC Exceedance
    VOC Exceedance
    0 = 0
  5. Calculate Permitted Emission
    Permitted Emission
    47312.5 = 47312.5
