Volume solid is the term that indicates the solid proportion of the paint on a volume basis. For example, if the paint is applied in a wet film at a 100 μm thickness and the volume solid of paint is 50%, then the dry film thickness (DFT) will be 50 μm as 50% of the wet paint has evaporated.

In technical usage in the shipping industry, a pail is a type of cylindrical shipping container with a capacity of about 3 to 50 litres (1 to 13 US gal).
Henry Wehrhahn, employee of Nellie Bly's Iron Clad Manufacturing Company of New York, received two patents in December 1905 that would lead to the modern 55-gallon steel drum [2] [3] Use of 200-litre drums became widespread in World War II, the first war in which trucks, cold rolled steel, stamp or pattern forging machinery and welding were widely available.
Mixing pigments for the purpose of creating realistic paintings with diverse color gamuts is known to have been practiced at least since Ancient Greece.The identity of a/the set of minimal pigments to mix diverse gamuts has long been the subject of speculation by theorists whose claims have changed over time, for example Pliny's white, black, one or another red, and "sil", which might have ...
Paint can weigh up to 1,000 lb (450 kg) per aircraft. [1] Decals and/or stickers are used for geometrically challenging elements such as titles and logos. To paint an A380, 24 painters were needed over two weeks to apply 2,300 L (610 US gal) of paint in five coats for British Airways, to cover 3,500 m 2 (38,000 sq ft) with 650 kg (1,430 lb). [2]
A cubic metre of pure water at the temperature of maximum density (3.983 °C) and standard atmospheric pressure (101.325 kPa) has a mass of 1000 kg, or one tonne.At 0 °C, the freezing point of water, a cubic metre of water has slightly less mass, 999.972 kilograms.
The kilogram per cubic metre (symbol: kg·m −3, or kg/m 3) is the unit of density in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined by dividing the SI unit of mass, the kilogram, by the SI unit of volume, the cubic metre. [1]
The imperial gallon was originally defined as 10 pounds (4.5359 kg) of water in 1824, and refined as exactly 4.54609 litres in 1985. Traditionally, when describing volumes, recipes commonly give measurements in the following units: Tumbler (10 fluid ounces; [29] [30] named after a typical drinking glass)
