How to calculate the paint painting of steel structure

Steel structure painting is a common anti-corrosion and beautification measure in projects, but how to accurately calculate the paint area and cost is a concern for many construction parties and owners. This article will combine popular topics and hot contents on the entire network for the past 10 days to analyze the calculation method of steel structure paint for you in detail and provide structured data reference.

1. The core elements of steel structure paint calculation

How to calculate the paint painting of steel structure

The calculation of steel structure paint mainly involves the following three core elements:

Calculation elementsillustrateunit
Surface areaThe actual expansion area of ​​the steel structure that needs to be paintedSquare meter (㎡)
Paint usageDetermine according to the type of paint and the number of timesLiter/square meter (L/square meter)
Labor costsDetermine based on construction difficulty and regional differencesYuan/square meter (yuan/square meter)

2. Calculation method of steel structure surface area

The calculation of surface area of ​​steel structures is the basis of cost calculation of paint. The following are the calculation formulas of surface area of ​​common steel components:

Component TypeCalculation formulaExample
H-shaped steel(2×height +4×width +2×web thickness)×lengthThe surface area of ​​6-meter long steel with H300×200×8×12 is (2×0.3+4×0.2+2×0.008)×6=5.376㎡
Round tubeπ×diameter×lengthThe surface area of ​​the 10-meter round tube of Φ159×6 is 3.14×0.159×10=4.993㎡
Square pipe4×side length×lengthThe surface area of ​​the 8-meter rectangular pipe with 100×100×5 is 4×0.1×8=3.2㎡

3. Reference data for paint usage

The dosages of different paint types vary greatly. The following table lists the reference dosages of common anticorrosion paints:

Paint TypeSingle usage (L/㎡)It is recommended to apply it several timesTotal dosage (L/㎡)
Red Dan Anti-rust Paint0.12-0.1520.24-0.30
Epoxy zinc-rich primer0.10-0.1220.20-0.24
Polyurethane topcoat0.08-0.1020.16-0.20

4. Comprehensive cost calculation example

Taking the paint painting of steel beams in a factory as an example, the total cost is calculated:

projectparameterCalculation processresult
Steel beam specificationsH400×300×10×16, length 8 meters(2×0.4+4×0.3+2×0.01)×87.36㎡
Paint selectionEpoxy zinc-rich primer 2 times + polyurethane topcoat 2 times(0.22+0.18)×7.362.944L
Labor costs25 yuan/㎡7.36×25RMB 184
Material FeePrimer 80 yuan/L, topcoat 120 yuan/L0.22×80+0.18×120RMB 39.2
Total cost-184+39.2RMB 223.2

5. Key factors affecting costs

According to recent hot topics of engineering forum discussion, the following factors will significantly affect the cost of paint painting in steel structures:

1.Surface treatment grade: Sa2.5-level sandblasting treatment is 30-50% higher than manual rust removal

2.Construction environment: Safety measures fees are required to be increased for high-altitude operations, which will increase the cost by about 15-25%.

3.Paint Brand: International brands are 40-60% higher than similar domestic products

4.Seasonal factors: Drying measures are needed to be added during the rainy season, and the cost is increased by 10-15%.

6. Latest industry trends

According to industry information in the past 10 days, the following trends are worth paying attention to:

1. The market share of environmentally friendly water-based anticorrosion paint increased by 35% year-on-year, and the unit price decreased by 12%.

2. The application rate of robot automatic spraying technology in large steel structure projects increased to 28%

3. Laboratory data of new graphene anti-corrosion coatings show that the anti-corrosion life is increased by 3-5 times

4. The newly revised "Technical Specifications for Anti-corrosion Coating of Steel Structures" in 2023 will be implemented in December

7. Practical suggestions

1. It is recommended to add a loss coefficient of 5-8% when calculating

2. Complex components can use 3D scanning technology to accurately calculate the surface area

3. For large projects, on-site trial coating should be conducted to determine the actual dosage.

4. Pay attention to the restrictions on paint types imposed by local environmental protection policies.

Through the above structured data and analysis, we hope to help you accurately calculate the various parameters and costs of steel structure painting. During actual construction, it is recommended to consult a professional painting engineer to make adjustments according to the characteristics of the specific project.
