1 liter emulsion paint covered how much area?..

Answer / mohana rao

How much area, in square meters, will one liter of paint cover if it is brushed out to uniform thickness of 100 microns?
1 litre of paint = 1000 Cubic Centimetre (CC)
Volume = area * thickness
1 liter = 1000 cc (cubic centimeters) = 1000000 cubic mms
1 Micron = 1/1000 mm
100 microns = 0.1 mm
Area = 1000000/0.1
Area = 10000000 sq mms
Area = 10 sq meters

Also in British Units
2.54cm = 1 inc
1 metre = 100 cms
1metre =100/2.54 = 39.37 inch
Also 1 square metre = 1m x 1m = 39.37 inc X 39.37inc = 1549.9969 sq inch
12 inch = 1 foot
1 sq feet = 12 inc X 12 inc = 144 sq ft
1 sq metre = 1549.9969 sq inch = 1549.9969 / 144 = 10.76 sq ft

So 1 litre of paint can cover an area = 10 sq meters =10 x metre x metre
= 10 x 10.76 sq ft = 107.6 sq ft

Finally one litre of paint can spread with a brush with 100 micro thickness
either 10 sq metre or 107 sq feet

Practically take it @ 90% calculation value because of various factors
