While the chart gives coverage data for most common sizes, the following formula may be helpful for non-standard items:

Squares of Tape =

(LP) ( (DP) TW

1200 (TW-OV)

Where

= 3.14

LP = length of pipe (ft.)

DP = outside diameter of pipe (in.)

TW = tape width (in.)

OV = overlap of tape (in.)

When using metrics,

Squares of tape =

(LP) ( (DP) TW

9290 (TW-OV)

Metric Conversions

1 inch = 25,4 millimeters

1 foot

= 0,3048 meter

1 sq. ft. = 0,092 sq. meter

1 gallon = 3,785 liters

Primer Coverage

1 gallon of 3M Scotchrap Pipe Primer will

cover up to 700 sq. ft., depending on the

surface condition of the pipe. To calculate

area of pipe for primer coverage:

Sq. ft. of pipe =

(DP

÷ 12) (LP)
