What I am not sure about is why we need to make such an analytical approch to this. Do we really have to know what the block does through out various flow rates? Do we really need to know the Base plate temp? Do we really need to try and measure inlet/outlet temps?
I just want to tell of block A is better than block B on my test bench with in a resonable amount of error. I was planing to sort blocks by groups. Group A would fit into high performance, Group B in middle performace, Group C low performance, and Group D not worth the metal used to make it.
Do I really need .01 accuracy to do this? Seems to me this is all the readers want. I don't think they want to hear all the flow rates, pressure drops, blah blah blah... They just want to know what level the block is in. If it is worth their money or not and how wrong they might go if they buy something else. Remember most consumers don't know jack about what they are buying, they just want to be told how good it is without a lot of technical mumbo jumbo they not only can't understand but do not want to understand, and quite frankly shouldn't have to understand. They got better things to do as they should.

That's right, you don't know. You will never get any grasp of performance unless it is done at various flowrates. One point on a graph seems to be all you need. Without resolution and accuracy your one plotted point now becomes a big blob on the chart, get the picture? So my question to you is, why bother testing at all if you are going to do it that way? How could you tell a customer what is better if you don't have a way of knowing? Just tell them anything I guess and back it up with a half assed tinkertoy test setup?
Sorry to come off harsh but you seem to be trying to cater to the masses, people are already doing that without any testing at all.
