- roughly, in a 1700 x 750 double-ended bath (not a deep one), up to overflow but excluding volume of body?

at a guess, about 200-250 litres?

Actually, it was a perfectly clean, above-board, no-smut question!

I'm getting a shower pump which works at 10-18 litres per minute and wanted to see how long it would take to fill the bath if I connected it to a waterfall spout.



BTW how much is a litre of custard?

I didn't at all imply that the question was smutty!

in fact I just thought it was a bit of a daft question.

But you carry on, mate.

Run a hose into the bath. Time how long it takes with the tap at a given rate, to fill a 1 litre bottle.

Fill bath. Divide total time by time for bottle above.

Thats how many litres you have.

Right,

Asuuming the space is 1700 x 750 x 320 mm (up to plug hole in our bath)

in Cm = 170 x 75 x 32 = 408,000 cc = 408 litres.

1 litre = 1000 cc 1 cc = 1 cm x 1 cm x 1cm

ps the wife says I'm not to poke my tape measure into the bath whilst she is on it again.

Oooh, it was a metal one as well, and I didn't warm it up!

But that's assuming square sides, which no bath I've ever seen has.

I agree, you should probably knock off a third for a rough calculation.
