How to calculate the number of wall panels for single storey steel workshop?

Sandwich Panel Building

Steel structure workshop is a common type in industrial buildings. It has the advantages of simple structure, fast construction, economical and practical. In the construction process of the steel factory building, the wall panel is an important part, and the accurate calculation of its quantity is very important for the smooth progress of the construction. The calculation method for the number of wall panels in single storey steel workshop will be introduced below.

First of all, to calculate the number of wall panel for a single storey steel workshop, we need to determine the size of the factory building. Generally speaking, the size of the steel workshop can be determined according to the specific production needs, such as the area of the working area, the requirements for equipment placement, etc. Assume that the size of the steel factory building is 20 meters long, 15 meters wide and 6 meters high.

Next, we need to determine the size and thickness of the wall panel. Wall panels are generally composed of steel plates, rock wool panels or sandwich panels, and their size and thickness should be selected according to specific use requirements and environmental conditions. Taking rock wool board as an example, suppose the size of rock wool board is 1 meter long, 0.5 meter wide and 0.1 meter thick.

Based on the size of the steel structure workshop and the size of the wall panels, we can calculate the number of wall panel required for each wall. First, calculate the area of the wall. There are four walls in the steel workshop, which are the front, back, left and right walls. The calculation formula is:

Wall area = wall length x wall height

According to the assumed size, you can get:

  • Front and rear wall area = 20m x 6m = 120m²
  • Left and right wall area = 15m x 6m = 90m²

Next, we need to calculate the number of panels needed for each wall. Wall panels are usually installed vertically, so the number of wall panel needed in the vertical direction needs to be calculated according to the height of the wall. The calculation formula is:

Number of Wall Panels = Wall Area / Wall Panel Area

Based on the assumed dimensions and the dimensions of the wall panels, one obtains:

  • Number of panels required for front and rear walls = 120 square meters / (1m x 0.1m) = 1200 pieces
  • The number of wall panels required for the left and right walls = 90 square meters / (0.5m × 0.1m) = 1800 pieces

Finally, the total number of wall panel required for a single-story steel factory building can be obtained by adding the number of wall panel required for each wall. According to the assumed size, you can get:

Total number of panels = number of panels required for front and rear walls + number of panels required for left and right walls = 1200 + 1800 = 3000

It should be noted that the above calculation method is only an example, and the actual calculation of the number of wall panels should be determined according to the specific size and material. In the actual application process, factors such as the waste rate of wall panel and construction gaps need to be considered to ensure the accuracy and effect of construction.
