That looks like a standard small-tube radiator. Use the chart for the Burnham Slenderized in Dan's book "E.D.R.".All Steamed Up, Inc.

Thank you SteamHead. I like to use the original ratings chart if I can though. Hopefully someone here has it. Couldn’t find anything on line0

Any idea on how old it is? Is it original to the house? Do you know when the house was built?
Sorry didn't see it was 1950s. How tall when measured from floor?0 -
This is a 1934 catalog for large tube.

Outstanding Random12345!!! Thank you0

How tall is that rad? What is the thickness of each section? Steamhead might be right about it being a slenderized version. That would substantially decrease the EDR...1

The rads are identical to what's shown in the article0
