How many Litres of water does a radiator hold?
A 1000×600 rad typically contains 5-6 litres of water, but it depends on design. You then have to lift the boards and calculate the water in the pipes, heat exchanger, etc.
How many Litres is a heating system?
Useful conversion factors:
| Systems comprising perimeter heating, convectors, etc. | 6 litres/kW |
|---|---|
| Steel panel radiators | 11 litres/kW |
| Cast iron radiators | 14 litres/kW |
| ‘Distant’ heating systems in large sprawling buildings | 20 litres/kW |
| Underfloor heating | 23 litres/kW |
How long can I leave fernox F5 in a system?

Tank diameter mm x Tank length mm x Tank height mm = tank volume in litres. (Radius of tank mm2 x 3.14) x height of tank mm = tank volume in litres.
How many Litres is central heating?
Useful conversion factors:
| Systems comprising perimeter heating, convectors, etc. | 6 litres/kW |
|---|---|
| Ventilation systems (air handling units, fan coils, etc.) | 8 litres/kW |
| Steel panel radiators | 11 litres/kW |
| Cast iron radiators | 14 litres/kW |
| ‘Distant’ heating systems in large sprawling buildings | 20 litres/kW |
How much inhibitor do I need?
For domestic systems, one litre, one rapid dose, or one 275ml tube of Sentinel X100 Inhibitor is sufficient to treat a typical system of up to 10 radiators (100 litres). Larger domestic systems should be dosed with twice this amount.
How many Litres of water is in a radiator?
Systems comprising of perimeter heating, convectors etc = 6 litres / kW. Ventilation systems (Air handling units, fan coils etc), chilled water systems = 8 litres / kW. Steel panel radiators = 11 litres / kW. Cast iron radiators = 14 litres / kW.
How much water does a radiator hold in Litres?
Most cooling systems will hold around 5 litres. DIY Car Service Parts sell engine coolant in 1-20 litre containers, so you can purchase the exact amount that you need.
