Flow Rate of Radiator

Pembily

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
