    K this may be a pretty obbvious question but anyway!!!

    I need to know the flow rate of a radiator in college for my thesis (supposedly it has been manually calculated already and I can't go and do it again!), there seems to be no record of the flow rate.

    I was wondering if there is an average number depending on the specific type of radiator?? I don't have the make yet but will get it tomorrow morning!!!

    Thanks for all the help!

    The required flow rate differs depending on the size/volume of the radiator.
    The out temperature will differ depending on the size of the radiator, so a larger radiator needs a faster flow rate than a small one to keep the out temperature consistant.

    Am well aware of that - was asking if there was certain manufacturers gave their flow rates!

    The flow rate varies depending on the temp difference usually controlled by a trv or 2port valve

    Manufacturers quote the max output of the rad at a delta T of 50degrees
