Planning ratio—not validation

Fog Coverage and Room-Volume Calculator

Compare nominal fog output with room volume and an assumed delivery-efficiency factor. The result estimates a theoretical room-volume ratio; it does not predict complete mixing, visible coverage or protocol success.

Quantify scale

Enter the room and delivered-output assumptions.

Why theoretical turnover is not fog coverage.

The calculation assumes a usable fraction of nominal output and divides room volume by that rate. Real rooms continuously supply and remove air, contain equipment, form zones, impose pressure boundaries and dilute the plume. Use the result to compare capacity classes—not as a guarantee that the room will become uniformly visible.

Commission representative delivery.

  • Use the longest expected hose and most restrictive accessory combination.
  • Test the furthest or highest-risk release point.
  • Record actual room velocity, temperature and humidity.
  • Assess the camera view, not only live visibility.
  • Verify localized scenes before room-wide release.
  • Document approved settings and repeatability.

Applied Physics can compare the ratio with delivery geometry, airflow and scene requirements.
