Caulk Coverage API
Caulk and sealant coverage maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the linear-feet-per-tube and how-many-tubes numbers a builder, glazier or DIYer buys sealant by. A bead of caulk is essentially a thin cylinder, so the coverage endpoint works out the feet a cartridge lays from the bead width: volume per foot ≈ (π/4 × width²) × 12 inches, and a standard 10.1 fl oz cartridge (18.2 in³) lays about 30 feet of a quarter-inch bead, 13 feet of a fat three-eighths or 55 of a fine three-sixteenths — pass cartridge_oz for sausage packs or 28-oz tubes, and a tube count to total it. The tubes endpoint runs it backwards: cartridges needed = (joint length × a waste factor) ÷ feet per cartridge, rounded up, so a 100-foot run of quarter-inch bead with 10 % waste takes four tubes. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for construction, glazing, weatherproofing and home-improvement app developers, material-estimator and shopping-list tools, and contractor software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Inches and feet; estimates — tooling and waste vary. Live, nothing stored. 2 compute endpoints.
