Replacement Boiler Sizing Chart: Standing Radiation

This document provides a boiler sizing chart to help determine the appropriate size for a replacement boiler. It includes tables for calculating the heating requirements based on the type of heating system (steam or hot water), fuel type, existing boiler information, and square footage of different types of radiators (standing, baseboard, column, tube, wall). Conversion factors are provided to calculate the total BTUH load from the radiator square footage.
