how do you calculate how much gas a boiler is burning per hour

[vin]

i have done a job and fitted a combi 32kw boiler with solar panels
which is all working fine but i need to work out how much gas the boiler is burning per hour i cant remember the formula for doing it all help is greatly welcome waiting on payment from owner who wants this first

Sounds like a job Dominic Littlewood is going to investigate to me lol

Consult your training literature

I'm sorry but is this a mickey take? Are you Gas Safe registered? Gas rating boilers is basic stuff.

 

[PlumbBobBob]

i thought it sounded like it would be basic theory but waited as not gs.

You could sit by the meter for an hour with a stop watch or try 2 minutes and times by 30

I'm not gas safe (yet) but if you can read a gas meter and have access to a stop watch then you can work out gas consumption (rate).

I recently bought 'Corgi Essential Gas Safety' - it's all in there.

Edit: Diamondgas beat me to it

you should be working the gas rate out as a matter of course, part of commissioning not just for the customer.

Hope the 32kw (boiler size) wasn't a guess!

I remember corgi 4th edition didn't tell how to convert to m3 or ft3 an hour, I learned it but lectures didn't seem to push it, they were lookin at kw. Lucky for me my other course books have it in.

Anyone admitting to installing a boiler and not being able to rate it should not be welcome here imo. Obviously not competant.
