Calculation formula needed?

Question

I know that 1 tube of caulking is 10.3 oz. I also know that when you push a bead out that is 1/4" x 1/4" the 10.3 oz. tube will lay down 24.4 linear feet of caulking. I need to put this in a formula to calculate different beads of caulking. Bead height will always match width. Thanks.

Answer 1

Hi,
Although you don't say so, I assume you want to know the length possible if the width and height are different from 1/4 x 1/4. Although I am not a caulking expert :-), perhaps I can help you a little with the math.
If the length is what you want, then try this:
For length in feet:
L = 1.525/(W x H)
For length in inches:
L=18.3/(W x H)

Hope this helps.
