It heats all the square feet in the network of rooms through which it's distributed.
How warm it heats them, and how fast, depends on the height of the ceilings, and
on the rate of loss of heat through the walls, which in turn depends on the outside
temperature and the insulation efficiency of the walls.

This depends greatly on the region in which you live. In California 700 square feet would require only about 30,000 BTU. In Vermont, probably twice that much would be adequate. It also depends on insulation and weather sealing.
approx 80,000 if your house has average insulation and heat loss.
The amount of feet per btu varies according to many factors such as how tall the ceiling is or how many windows there are. In most houses, usually you need about 20 to 22 btu per square foot. So, divide 15000 by these and you get it will heat anywhere from about 680 to 750 square feet.
-- Floor and ceiling . . . (13 x 16) = 208 square feet each -- One pair of walls . . . (13 x 13) = 169 square feet each -- The other pair of walls . . . (13 x 16) = 208 square feet each Total = 1,170 square feet. If you need this number for carpet, wallpaper, or paint, then subtract the area of windows, doors, electrical outlets, heat registers, etc.
The heat number on a steel plate is a unique identification number that indicates the specific batch of steel from which the plate was produced. It is important for traceability and quality control purposes, as it allows manufacturers to track the materials used in the production process. The heat number provides information about the chemical composition, mechanical properties, and production date of the steel plate, ensuring consistency and reliability in its performance.
