    Well,

    you use those charts to figure the square foot rating, and then convert that to BTUs.

    What are you trying to do?

    Put radiator in Kitchen

    Trying to determine if my boiler is under or oversized. I caculated a total EDR of 330 for all the radiators. When I multiply that by 240 BTU/HR I get a total of 79200. Not sure what that means but my boiler says it has a rating of 420 sq ft of steam.
