The bad news: It is impossible to calculate the contents of your heating system.
The good news: there is no valid reason for having to do so.
The best news: You can just ask on this-here forum what the best way is of achieving what you want to do. You will get the professional opinion of a number of seasoned pro's, free and for nothing.

Rads are easy, just need the size and make or take the stelrad as generic.
Pipes are easy you can get charts, all you need is the lengths of each size.
Boilers are in the MI.
What else do you need.
If you've got a water meter you can find the complete system volume if you are particularly bored.
Drain the system completely. Note the reading on the water meter. Fill the system. Note the second reading. Subtract the reading and you've got your volume. 1m3 is 1000 litres exactly.
Of course don't forget the 1 litre of inhibitor you have to add as well!.
