See PDF for diagram 
where n is the number of coatings of each type used during each nominal 1-month period and m is the number of different diluent VOCs used during each nominal 1-month period. (SLdj Ddj will be 0 if no VOCs are added to the coatings, as received.)

Transfer efficiency values for application methods not listed below may be approved by the administrator on a case-by-case basis. An owner or operator shall submit sufficient data for the administrator to judge the validity of the transfer efficiency claims.
4) Where more than one application method is used within a single coating operation, the owner or operator shall determine the volume of each coating applied by each method through a means acceptable to the department and compute the volume-weighted average transfer efficiency by the following equation: -
See PDF for diagram
