All in the aid of testing this block, but the block material is worth maybe 10USD including the mounting set and barbs ;) I'm just looking at hitting high end performance then testing a few variables really. As is MY testing (relative, not very good i know) my block is within a degree of the best ones. But, I could be off by a mile. Unless i had a few blocks that are on pH's chart (I only had one) then my results are about as strong as a house of cards in a hurricane.

It's an addiction for sure; when some more money comes in, I'm going to invest in a CF633 and DOW sensors, so I can be a bit more certain. Like all good addictions, they cost either lots of money, lots of time, or both ;)

I'm sitting here centre punching out my new design as we speak, lol.

The Lumpy Channel pH got was the first prototype of it. In fact I didn't even mount/test the block myself before sending it to him. :D There was $5 in materials and I broke a endmill for the other $5. I don't count all the other stuff as I had it all anyway regardless if I made the block or not.

pH has a second block of mine on the test bench but it shouldn't be anything special. I made it for low flow. If I get around to it I will fix up a few blocks and send them his way. Won't have the time to mess with anything this summer though.
