Help with the calculation

FS-200 consumption

The approximate consumption is 150–300 g/m², so for the 290 ml cartridge the calculator shows the quantity as a range. The net weight of the 80 ml tube has not been specified yet, and volume in millilitres cannot be used in place of weight in grams.

What affects the coverage?

For cartridge adhesives the calculation is by bead length: one 290 ml cartridge gives about 14 metres of a 6 mm bead. Bead thickness depends on the nozzle cut, and strip spacing on the weight of the part: panels are glued in strips every 10–15 cm, skirting boards and mouldings with a single strip.

For bucket adhesives and for area-based calculations a rate in grams per square metre applies: up to 160 g/m² for construction adhesives, up to 170 g/m² for the decor adhesive and up to 200 g/m² for the adhesive filler. For the sealant one cartridge covers 14–15 metres of a 5 mm joint; for other sizes the joint volume is length × width × depth.

Allow a 10–15 % reserve for uneven substrates, offcuts and the first cartridge, which always goes faster.
