Anyone tell me what is the maximum number of double sockets one can

And how many spurs (with a double socket on each) can one have on one
32-amp ring?

There are no limits on either count.

It is recommended that a ring not supply power for more than 100m²
of floor area. However, this is for general purpose usage, and if you
know more precisely how the ring is going to be used, you should take
that into account and modify this figure accordingly.

It is recommended that a ring should not have more spurs than directly
connected sockets/accessories. This is because a ring normally starts
with no spurs, and if it's been extended to the point where there are
as many spurs as original outlets, then the current demand for outlets
has well exceeded what the ring was originally designed for.

100m^2 is 10m x 10m, perimeter of which is 40m. Average double socket
size around 6" = 15cm. 40m/6cm = 666 double sockets or 1333
sockets.

As I have mentioned before, you talk ******** at times.

_FLOOR_ area, not wall area.

Who's talking ********?
