Volume of water in a radiator
I bought some radiators from Wickes and they have no technical data
with them. Has anyone got any idea what volume of water they might contain? Let's say a single 620mm high x 1000mm long radiator. TIA Mr F |

TIA Mr F You could look at the Myson and Stelrad web sites for a similar type of radiator and scale the results from the datasheet of a similar looking radiator. -- ..andy To email, substitute .nospam with .gl |

All on the manufacturers' sites but for the hard of typing it's: single panels: 300mm 1.9l/m, 450 2.6l/m, 600 3.25l/m, 750 3.8l/m double panels are double, figures from Stelrad. -- fred |

Actually about 3.5l. 620 x 1000 x 30 (guess based on mine) = 18,600,000 mm3 Divide by 1,000,000 to get to litres gives 18.6l max. Allow for the fact that some of it is pressed together so doesn't contain any water. I guessed at ~60% but the figures you quote say about 18%. They hold a lot less than mine but mine are 25 years old now.

But they do vary a lot depending on the style. |
