Today I thought I'd spend a bit of time on the nozzles.
First I'd like to clarify wether we are indeed going to keep the dP during testing between 1.0 and 3.0 "wc, as per the fantester guidelines, or if we're doing something different.
I'm also thinking about nozzle selection; what's the word on using multiple one at the same time? Ok for 2? Ok for 3, 4? (I understand how it would work; this is an accuracy concern only).
Knowing that, I can figure out the minimum number of nozzles, their sizes, and the right combination to get to 250 cfm. Do we have a minimum cfm requirement?
I expect to be mobile again Wednesday; I'll start to scour the area for tube and egg crates.
Speaking of which...

Any thoughts if we're going to be ok with the egg crate, or if we're way off here?
