Do I enter grams or milliliters?

Enter milliliters here. Convert weighed material using its measured density before entering a volumetric rate.

Does purge belong in the dispense rate?

No. Use the application rate for joints and enter purge and cartridge residual separately to avoid double counting.

Use an actual timed collection at your production setting. Rated maximum pump output can exceed the amount delivered on your job.

Divide total required volume by the pack fill and round up. Check whether the supplier requires complete kits or fixed case quantities.

Estimate the sealant to stage for a measured dispensing run. Enter the volumetric rate, active runtime, purge volume and container unit cost.

Sealant Dispense Rate: Timed collection volume divided by active dispensing hours.
Sealing Runtime: Active dispensing time from the job log.
Purge and Residual Volume: Measured material lost during setup, purging and cartridge changes.
Sealant Unit Cost: Delivered container price divided by its stated fill volume.

Best suited to sealant staging for a Shift, purge volume reconciliation.
Intermittent dispensing requires actual trigger time, not the scheduled shift length.

The producer price index for industrial chemicals stands at 336.006 (BLS, Aug 2026), up 13.3% from a year earlier. Quotes priced off last quarter's material cost miss this move.
