This is my problem I have yet to solve. I am not to sure what I really need to give decent results. My test bed will be similar in nature to BillA's but I am not really planning on being as spacific on some of the things he does nor quite as accurate.
How much will +- 3% really matter in the flow results? I plan on measuring from 50gph on up to whatever the pump will handle in the system. At 50gph that is only 1.5GPH +- off. Will that really make a substantial problem in results?
Now that you posted here I also have a question about the Fluke temp gauges. What would be a decent one to use and what type of probes would work for it. I found a bunch on ebay but I am not sure how to get the probes to fit where I want them to. :shrug:
This more accurate testing is something I really never thought all that usefull but I have to eat crow a bit and suck it up.
I go off bitching about bad reviews but I intend on doing something about this time. My goal is to be able to do a much better review (not necassarily perfect by any means but better than DIGI DOC and onboard probes) than what has been out there lately. And also this might motivate me to purse my water block designing again as I will be able to test better.
