CylWrap cylinder lateral area
Know wrap area before ordering insulation, wrap, or paint for a tank or pipe run
Result
area_sqin = π · diameter_in · length_in; area_sqft = area_sqin / 144
How to use this estimate
Compute lateral (side) surface area of a right circular cylinder from diameter and length. How it works: area_sqin = π · diameter_in · length_in; area_sqft = area_sqin / 144. Out of scope: end caps 2·πr²; cone transitions; overlap waste; pipe schedule OD vs wrap OD confusion without user D. Informational calculation for the stated inputs only. Does not certify code compliance; confirm manufacturer data where it applies.
