Need help identifying and quantifying a possible "Wrought Iron" radiator...

We're trying to do our venting calculations, and I've got a couple of related questions - is the 30" tall radiator in the attached image a "wrought iron" radiator (it matches the descriptions I've read in a couple of places), and if so, where does it fall on the "EDR per section" and "volume of air per sf of EDR" charts?

Thanks!

    Just found the EDR/section (here on HeatingHelp, had I just looked :\ ) - it's "1 per tube" (very sneaky, Dead Men, very sneaky), but I'm still looking for the volume...

    From the looks of it, I'd measure the tube lengths and diameters, calculate how much air is in the tubes, add 50% or so for the base and see how it works.

    Just make sure your main venting is generous, and put hoffman 40's on all the rads, and you will have a start at balancing the system.--NBC
