Incorrct! As others have been pointing out you need data like the attached (for the Papst 4300N series from their website). As to where to get this data, what I do is if the data isn't readily available at the seller's or Mfgr's website, it's good by! You can't intelligently choose a fan without it. The data for rads is much harder to find and sometimes interpolation is reguired...but still, W/O data how can one choose?
