Because ships are exposed to severe corrosive and fouling environments, painting is an important factor in determining the service life of a ship. However, in most situations, the details of hull coating operations are left to the field, and basic information for production and process management, such as the amount of paint used and working hours, is not yet available. In this study, we investigated a simple method for measuring such basic information on coating operations. In this study, we investigated a method for monitoring paint consumption and work time based on the operating principle of a coating machine. Experiments were conducted to simulate spray coating operations. The amount of paint used could be estimated from the number of piston strokes and the supply air pressure of the coating machine.
