Well it's a personal choice ofcourse, it's all rather fast maths i think :D

Ah just need the dimensions. Since the UK use inches(bless) you'll need;

length x width x height to get cubis inches.

Convert it to litres(via gallons or not)

Then multiply by two to convert it to cans.

I think baths must be weird for that, because no bath is normally totally rectangular, what about the bit you lie in which is sloped opposite the taps? Or if the taps in the middle there's still an inclined area for you to lie on. It must be based on pure volume - I think the dimensions are just for actual DIY fitting tbh, as in to make sure it fits in wherever the unit is going.

It brings into the debate a good point - volume will determine weight, and baths are fooking heavy with water in tem, make sure you have the structure to carry it if it's upstairs....

True enough.

You could ofcourse measure a litre with a steady waterflow, calculate the time it takes to fill that litre and then calculate the time it takes to fill the tub to desired level.

Then simply divide that time with the time it took to fill a litre and get an exact amount of litres needed. Divide by 2 and voila, cans needed(with light variables ofcourse).

Do you think we should just find a home store catalogue and believe them on volume?? :D

That's a clever idea though, steady waterflow would be a nice solution. Personally I'd still want to fill the whole bath up to find out its capacity!
Well played though sir!

Ooh ofcourse not, you know companies, lairs the lot :D

Oh ofcourse, for scientific purposes, full volume must be known.

Then we must calculate the weight, fat-%, bone mass etc of the bather, and ofcourse the bathers preferred "splashy" buffer and count out the exact amount of beer for a perfect deathbath.

Fat % wouldn't make a difference, it would just be mass that's important, but I agree, entry performance, then we're in a whole different game. Beer bath diving Olympics anyone?? :D

But wouldn't fat-% in correlation with weight give an appropriate mass?

Like say a 150lbs non muscley guy would take more space then a 150lbs 0 fat% guy.

Hmm, maybe, but I think it's more of a resistance issue then. Fat actually holds the same space as muscle so mass is similar, it's just muscle has more resistance (aka. density) which is why it clings in a more pleasing way to the eye, so maybe we go back to the splash effect of a fatty getting in the bath. Watch the waves people!

Displacement is due only to the volume of the object in relation to its surface area and its mass.
it doesnt matter if its iron or a flabby bloke with a bit of muscle on him.

That's not strictly true, the resistance (or lack thereof) of the body in someone who is flabby might cause the fat to be forced away and then it would return to it's old position, kind of like a wave effect. That's exactly why sesimic activity createds tsunamis that can be so deadly, due to wave interference as they cross each other. A muscly person's body would not have that lack of resistance and wouldn't cause as much wave interference.

And lol gohan. :)

By displacement im talking about the overall raise in the height of the water rather than a temporary fluctuation of some sort.

Ah, sorry. You didn't quote so I assumed you were replying to my whole post, which included the larger person jumping in (which was a joke ofc).

Hopefully you won't read this until drunk/hungover - gratz again for the results matey! :clap:

Youre right I probably wasnt clear.
Initially I didnt think of wave formations until you mentioned it.

So you figured it out yet? Remember you shouldn't fill it to the brink, leave a volume so theres room for a person there. With Docwolfe, 1 can should suffice. HAH!

interesting dilemma what would doc do?

A) Eergh theres a bird contaminating me beer! GTFO bint!...then get in and drink some

B) w00t theres a bird in me beer! *cannonball*

C) There's a bird in me beer...now if only I could convince her to take a crap, get some lube and a penguin this would be perfect!

D) I'm in the temperance league...lips that touch liquer will never touch mine, good day to you madame! *flounce off*

You can get a tub for two beer spa. I wish I had known about this when I went to Prague, would have made a detour :)
