well, anything can be back-calculated - but I'm not too comfy with 2 aspects:
- the length is quite short relative to the magnitude of the effect/difference, and
- the effect of 'rounding' errors at the low drops is rather large
NOTE: the 3/8 hose is clear vinyl, while the 1/2 and 5/8 are silicone
needed is data from a 10' straight length - but I did not setup to do this
-> my intent was only to provide WCers with some 'plug in' values,
since most hose is actually used in short pieces to make a 90
these curves were generated as an adjunct to my running 'calibration' tests to establish the correction factors for different sized hose connections to the cross used to take the temp and pressure taps
I could back out some connection values also; but as I use Cu thin wall pipe, the numbers would not be too useful
