I realize that. I just meant it was a good reference that's all. Thanks for the input

    Heat transfer rates

    Hello fellow wallies,
    I seem to remember a chart posted here quite some time ago, with metals like cast iron, aluminum, copper, and steel, with the heat transfer rates. This is a good reference for use of different types of boilers. Does anyone have a copy of this or a resonable facsimile? Thanks in advance

    Check this handbook out. It has a chapter on the physical properties of materials.

    Try

    Just because copper has high thermal conductivity doesn't necessarily mean we should all have coppe fin tube boilers. Stainless steel is a poor conductor of heat relative to aluminum or copper, but other properties make it very appealing. Also thickness is important. Aluminum generally is much thicker than stainless steel heat exchangers.
