How to calculate the square of color steel tiles
As a common building material, color steel tiles are widely used in factories, warehouses, temporary buildings and other fields. When purchasing and using color steel tiles, it is crucial to accurately calculate their area. This article will introduce in detail the method of calculating the area of color steel tiles and provide relevant data tables to help you quickly master this skill.
1. Basic concepts of color steel tiles
Color steel tiles are building materials made of color-coated steel plates as the base material and formed by rolling and cold bending. It has the advantages of light weight, high strength, rich colors and fast construction. When calculating the area, factors such as tile type, effective width, overlapping method, etc. need to be considered.
| parameters | Description | Common specifications |
|---|---|---|
| Thickness | Thickness of color steel tiles | 0.3mm-0.8mm |
| effective width | actual coverage width | 750mm-1000mm |
| length | Customized on demand | Usually within 6 meters |
| wave height | Corrugated height | 15mm-80mm |
2. Calculation method of color steel tile area
1.Calculation of the area of a single color steel tile
The formula for calculating the area of a single color steel tile is: length × effective width. It should be noted that the width here refers to the effective coverage width, not the raw material width.
| Project | Calculation formula | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Leaflet area | Length×effective width | 6m×0.75m=4.5㎡ |
| Total dosage | Roof area ÷ sheet area | 90㎡÷4.5㎡=20 sheets |
2.Roof area calculation
When calculating the roof area, you need to first measure the actual length and width of the roof. For sloped roofs, the projected area must be calculated and multiplied by the slope factor.
| roof type | Calculation method | coefficient |
|---|---|---|
| Single pitch roof | length×width | 1.0 |
| double slope roof | (length×width)×2 | 1.0 |
| slope roof | Projected area × slope coefficient | 1.05-1.25 |
3. Calculation examples
Suppose there is a single-slope factory building 15 meters long and 10 meters wide, using color steel tiles with an effective width of 0.8 meters:
| Calculation steps | numerical value | result |
|---|---|---|
| roof area | 15m×10m | 150㎡ |
| Single sheet area (6 meters long) | 6m×0.8m | 4.8㎡ |
| Number of sheets required | 150㎡÷4.8㎡ | 31.25 photos (take 32 photos) |
| Loss calculation | 32 photos × 5% | 1.6 pieces (take 2 pieces) |
| Total dosage | 32+2 | 34 photos |
4. Precautions
1. In actual construction, 5%-10% loss should be considered, including material loss caused by cutting, overlapping, etc.
2. The effective widths of different tile types are different. Please confirm the specific parameters when calculating.
3. For special-shaped roofs, it is recommended to divide them into regular shapes and calculate them separately and then sum them up.
4. You can consult the supplier for professional calculation advice when purchasing.
5. Other influencing factors
In addition to basic area calculations, the following factors will also affect the amount of color steel tiles:
| factors | influence | Suggestions |
|---|---|---|
| Overlapping method | Horizontal overlap reduces effective width | Increase dosage by 5% |
| roof shape | Complex shapes increase loss | Increase dosage by 10%-15% |
| Number of openings | Skylights, vents, etc. | Deduct the actual area |
Through the above methods and tables, I believe you have mastered the essentials of calculating the area of color steel tiles. In practical applications, it is recommended to appropriately adjust calculation parameters based on specific project conditions to ensure the accuracy of material procurement.
