The main issue there is that even if you have the info, you won't find it for the radiator, save those tested by Bill, here:

Tubing pressure drop can easily be calculated, twists and turns aside. |
Some people are testing radiators... but appart from BillA, I never saw something serious.
Rosco on
www.cooling-masters.com build the pressure drop vs flow curve for radiators (in fact he did it for the only one he tested for now), but he doesn't have the tools needed for C/W mesure to mu knwoledge...
For tubing pressure, I have a good formula to calculate it, so it's the less useful, but in a perfect world, some good tubes should be tested since rugosity is different for all products, even if materials are the same, so it introduces a little incertitude. But it's not really significant since you choose a tube for his price, disponibility or "radius of curvature" (don't know if they are the good words) but not for their pressure drop, so we can expect you use always same tube and we are doing the same error on each calcul and so, it doesn't matter.
