Caulking Usage Calculator

Calculate Caulking Usage





Formula

The formula to calculate the caulking usage (CU) is:

\[ CU = JS \times \left(\frac{JW}{12}\right) \times \left(\frac{JD}{12}\right) \times 0.554 \]

Where:

Example

Let's say the joint size (JS) is 10 linear feet, the joint width (JW) is 0.5 inches, and the joint depth (JD) is 0.25 inches. Using the formula:

\[ CU = 10 \times \left(\frac{0.5}{12}\right) \times \left(\frac{0.25}{12}\right) \times 0.554 \]

We get:

\[ CU \approx 0.0058\, \text{ounces} \]

So, the caulking usage is approximately 0.0058 ounces.
