Anyone know where i can locate a steam boiler sizing chart?, i'm going from a oil fired boiler, to a gas power vented boiler, and know i must measure radiation, and calculate everything

Boiler Sizing Chart

Hi- You need to size your replacement steam boiler to the total EDR of your system.

Here 's a couple of articles that might be of help to you:

I've also attached a work sheet which will help you calculate the EDR of your radiators.
