How can I estimated the water volume of underfloor heating? so as to size the correct expansion vessel?

I don't know the exact length of pipework that's been installed as i didnt install it

Thanks
 
Depends on pipe centres , lengths etc ,,,, u can roughly say Water Volume @ 200mm centres = 0.85 litres per sm,, but your pipe centres may differ ,
 
Allow for 150mm centres and you should be OK
Better to be slightly over sized on the vessel than under
 
It's not a real science, I'd say go a little bigger if your concerned...

Ideal Logic 24, Previous problem was that the hot water was only cold or barely warm if the heating was in use. If heating was off and boiler cold then would get hot water most of the time. Changing the flow cartridge about 2 years ago (when I moved in) solved this problem enough to suffer it as...
