Steel Shot Cost Calculation

Calculation Formulas

Total Media (kg) = Surface Area (m²) × Consumption Rate (kg/m²)
Cost / m² = Consumption Rate / Recycle Count × Unit Price
Total Cost = Total Media / Recycle Count × Unit Price

Consumption Rates

  • Light Rust: 40 kg/m²
  • Medium Rust: 60 kg/m²
  • Heavy Rust: 80 kg/m²
  • Paint Removal: 50 kg/m²

Media Prices

  • S330 Steel Shot: $1.50/kg
  • S460 Steel Shot: $1.80/kg
  • Steel Grit (GP): $2.00/kg
  • Garnet: $0.80/kg
