    It depends....

    on NUMEROUS variables, like pump size and pipe length.



    A general guide is to limit the flow in a 1/2" pipe to less than 2 GPM, preferably more like 1.5 GPM.



    At a 20 degree F differential in temperature, that flow would deliver 15,000 btuH to a properly sized heat emitter.
