How many liters in the bath: standard sizes, 170 and 150 cm.

Taking baths in antiquity was a luxury and a lot of rich nobles, ordinary people were content with reservoirs and a bath. Today, water pipes are almost everywhere, there is no need to heat water, but taking a bath is still considered expensive and expensive.

It is necessary to understand, the bath is chic or hygienic necessity? Are costs high and does the amount of baths affect them?

If the manufacturer does not indicate the capacity in the product's passport( and usually writes the volume before the overflow), or the document was lost, and you consider the value for the one that stands at your house, you can calculate the volume of the bath yourself.

For this you need to know the length and width of the bowl, its depth. And remember that 1 liter is equal to 1 dm³, or 1 000 cm³, or 0.001 m³.

The volume of standard and not very capacious can be measured as Archimedes, or use mathematical formulas. The latter will give an approximate result, since exact measurements go to the domain of integral calculus. An ordinary person will lose interest in this issue if one does not use the simplified formula:

V = H * L * S , where

V is the required volume,

H is the height or depth of the bowl,

L is the bath length,

S is the widthbowls( distance between the sides).

Calculating the volume of spherical models makes you remember about the number π( about 3.14), because first you need to calculate the area of ​​the semicircle, and then multiply by the length or depth( depending on the specific shape), then the formula can change:

V = π H *L * S.

For example, for a standard bath length of 170 cm, a depth of 50 cm, a width of 70 cm, the calculation will be as follows: V = 170 * 50 * 70 = 595 000 cm³ = 595 liters.

This volume of water means the full capacity for a geometrically correct parallelogram bath, in fact people use about half the bath, considering their own diving, and also "subtract" the rounding of the rims and the narrowing of the bath to the bottom.

Table of standard values ​​(standard bath sizes and number of liters as a table).

You need to be grateful to the far-sighted metrologists who created the volume table for standard cast iron baths:

Cast iron baths are available in 1-2 m, width 65-75 cm, the most running models 150-170 cm long, width 70-75 cm. Recently appearedmillet Model 180 * 80, for the comfort of new buildings, their volume of 195 liters. Most models 65 and 70 cm wide differ only in the width of the sides, their volume is almost the same, so the table gives such values. The size of 100cm * 75cm does not actually occur.

The claimed sizes are found in many materials( steel, acrylic), their volume can differ due to the shape, greater depth. For most calculations, the given values ​​are sufficient.

Non-standard baths are various: here include children's baths in volume of 20-40 l, and also multi-local models with a hydromassage. Since the latter are often made to order, their capacity must be indicated in the documents. Popular corner models with a side of 1.5-1.8 m and a depth of up to 65 cm can hold up to 400 liters of water. The volume of exclusive baths can reach 900-1100 liters, in general the calculation can also be carried out according to the formula.

In the sphere of housing and communal services it is considered that one person a day consumes up to 300 liters of water. Where does this figure come from?

Approximately 40 liters have time to "escape" during washing, half as much - 20 liters is used for cooking and cooking, 30 liters - washing, 70-air, 140 bathing, 15 liters-faulty plumbing. Since washing and bathing are not every day, according to Soviet standards, 305 liters were issued, and this figure has not been checked by anyone for a long time. At the same time, the average family of 3-4 people consumes about 20 m³, and this is approximately 170 l per person per day.

There are exceptions to the rules: you can take a bath in different ways. Europeans do not let the water out of the tank and bathe in it in turn. Spoiled Russians to hygiene are very different. Standard bath intake "eats" up to 150 liters, after it is usually taken a shower( +50 liters).Spa treatments in the bathroom will cost 180 liters( another 120 liters of prewash and 50 liters for rinsing).

In a word, the calculations are depressing.

Many families were able to save significantly from switching to payment according to meter readings. To wash like Europeans is a dubious saving, although many moms are also washing small children: they recruit water and run a gang of 2-3 tomboy. So you can safely wash the kids up to 5-6 years: the children are having fun, mom saves water and time.

There are other ways that are useful to everyone:

• The introduction of leverage mechanisms that fix the "favorite" position for maintaining the optimum water temperature.
• The shower itself is more advantageous than a bath, however it can also be made economical. To do this, stand for 1 minute under the pressure of water and get wet. After turning off the water, thoroughly soap, then again stand under the jet to wash away the foam and dirt.
• Similarly, you can wash and brush your teeth. Some dentists generally hold the opinion that it is useful for these procedures to use boiled water, rather than flowing water. A glass of liquid for cleaning teeth is enough.
• Successful versions of shower heads allow using the necessary head and volume of water. They will save about 20% of the liquid for each shower.
• Expensive sensor models of cranes and nozzles also save water, because it will pour only when sensors are triggered.

Many appliance appliances are not cheap, because the producers embody the idea of ​​conservation of nature. Average water consumption in the family is reduced by at least 30%. Quite logical recommendations can be supplemented with one more wise advice: if you want to save on water - repair the faulty plumbing!
