measrueing up the volume of a system

any quick people give me the volume per litre of 15mm pipework per metre
22mm per metre

estimates on a rad collumn bars lol 1800x300
towel rad 1150 x 500

estimates on the rads

i have got the info somewhere but in middle of a house move and about to have my back waxed ouccchhh ready for holiday next week (yes all come at once)
 
why dont you get a "back, sack & crack" then you can wear your mankini to the beach:joker:
 
Come on serious answers hahaLying on bed now.Quigly no chance of the sack and crack bit! Missis is beauty therapist never seen her so happy, loves the fact her fella is gonna be in pain ha.
 
the tables are in the unvented training literature, dont have the books at the house, maybe someone else can look for you, from memory (not a good place) a 3m length of copper holds about 500ml (same as a coke bottle which is why i think i can remember)
 
1m of 15mm 0.17672344 L
1m of 22mm 0.38015175 L

This is not taking in to account the thickness of the wall and is a worst case scenario

Remember to allow for fittings and bends

LOL ok need to ask did you stop at the back wax or did you go the whole hog (not that your a hog) I mean back crack and sack (can I say that it is a technical term)
 
1m of - 15mm = 0.13l/m (10 litres = 77m)
1m of - 22mm = 0.38l/m (10 litres = 26m)
1m of - 28mm = 0.55l/m (10 litres = 18m)


my figures are from bpec unvented training notes, 15mm is different to figure quoted above by simon but 22 is the same, so not sure who is correct on the 15mm
PS knew i should have kept my gob shut re the coke bottle till i had checked, must have been 1m has the same as the smaller bottle DOH!!
 
Sorry just read what gc quigley put...

great minds and all that
 
dug out the figures now but thanks for the input guys

had half a crack haha down far enough, could not imagine the pain in having the sack!!!!
