Verify the inputs
Measure or document each input. If a value is only an estimate, record its source and test a conservative alternative.
Construction/ CALCULATOR
Sealant volume and cartridge quantity
Estimate cartridges from measured joint length and cross-section, with a visible loss allowance.
FROM ESTIMATE TO ACTION
Use the result, not just the number.
Keep the calculation traceable
Save the input link or copied result together with the date, units and assumptions. A number without its inputs cannot be checked later.
Confirm the decision
Compare the estimate with the related guide, current product data and requirements that apply at your location before buying or building.
Inputs to verify
- Total joint length (m)
- Add only joints with the same section and product.
- Joint width / first fillet leg (mm)
- For a triangular fillet enter one perpendicular leg, not the diagonal bead face.
- Joint depth / second fillet leg (mm)
- Use the filled depth controlled by the approved joint detail.
- Profile factor: rectangle 1, triangle 0.5 (—)
- Idealized rectangle or right triangle only; actual tooled beads vary.
- Application loss allowance (%)
- Includes nozzle, tooling and handling loss; revise from experience.
- Cartridge or foil volume (mL)
- Actual net content of the package.
