Adhesive Mileage
Extend adhesive mileage by using only enough material at the appropriate bead size for consistent, repeatable
results.
Bead Size Mileage (1)
1.59 mm (1/16 in.) diameter = 2,004 m/kg (2,982 ft/lb), or 200 cm/g (35,783 in/lb)
1.98 mm (5/64 in.) diameter = 1,282 m/kg (1,908 ft/lb), or 128 cm/g (22,896 in/lb)
2.38 mm (3/32 in.) diameter = 891 m/kg (1,325 ft/lb), or 89 cm/g (15,900 in/lb)
2.78 mm (7/64 in.) diameter = 654 m/kg (974 ft/lb), or 65 cm/g (11,688 in/lb)
3.18 mm (1/8 in.) diameter = 501 m/kg (745 ft/lb), or 50 cm/g (8,940 in/lb)
3.97 mm (5/32 in.) diameter = 321 m/kg (477 ft/lb), or 32 cm/g (5,725 in/lb)
4.76 mm (3/16 in.) diameter = 223 m/kg (331 ft/lb), or 22 cm/g (3,972 in/lb)
5.56 mm (7/32 in.) diameter = 164 m/kg (243 ft/lb), or 16 cm/g (2,916 in/lb)
Other Equations
4.2445 (g/cc) (dia2) = cm/g
980.4754 [ (lb/gal) (dia2) ] = in/lb
(1) Calculations are based on standard packaging-grade adhesive density of 0.84 g/cc at 177 °C (7.01 lb/gal at
350 °F), using compensated-geometry bead of 0.60 of a half round circle.
