                    Low-pressure steam at/near sea level is easy.  240 btu/hr per square foot EDR.  Mountains/high plains call for some de-rating.

 Once I have my heat loss in BTU/hr. How does that translate to my steam radiators (Tubes - 200 sq. ft. total)?
 I guess this is a very basic question, but how do I figure out the BTU output of my radiators. I feel like I'm missing an important piece of the puzzle (steam pressure? temp? something)
 Thanks for the help.
