Sizing an expansion tank based on BTU output of your boiler

Based on the BTU output of your boiler, the following is an approximation on which expansion tank to choose for your heating system.

BTU Output Under 50,000: #15
BTU Output 50,000 - 150,000: #30
BTU Output 150,000 - 200,000: #60
BTU Output 200,000 - 400,000: SX-30V
BTU Output 400,000 - 600,000: SX-40V
BTU Output 700,000 - 900,000: SX-60V
BTU Output Over 900,000: SX-90V
