How to calculate system volume?

I've forgotten;-(

Let's say I have;

10' Feet of 1" copper
100' Feet of 3/4" PEX
125' Feet of 3/4" copper
150' Feet of 1/2" PEX

How do I find my total system volume? I read in one of Dan's books how to do this using a table of pipe size X liniar Ft. but I can't seem to find it right now and need to figure out how much chemical to add to my system.

    calculating system volume

    Gary,

    The expansion tank sizer module in the new Hydronics Design Studio software can be used to quickly calculate the volume of a system containing almost any combination of copper, PEX, and PEX-Al-PEX tubing. You can specify lengths for up to four different tubes as well as a misc. system volume. The volume is needed as part of sizing the systems expansion tank.
