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.

here's a start
1" copper, 0.043 gallons per ft
3/4" copper, 0.025 gallons per ft
3/4" pex, 0.01834 gallons per ft
1/2" pex, 0.00921 gallons per ft0 -
Curious as to what
chemicals you use?0 -
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.
