First,

Welcome back BillA! ! Glad to see you back.

Second,

If we wish to see a wide range of testing done, WE need to step up and provide some of the items for pH to test. It's unreasonable to post a list of what we want to see, while posting no offers of providing ANYTHING to aid in a good comprehensive test.

Third,

pHaestus,

Would you be interested in including in your testing any/all of the following?

1) Iwaki MD-15 = max free flow of 300 GPH @ 11.1 ft. of head. Perhaps someone else has a MD-20Z to loan for testing?

2) Rad #2-342 ( the same one Bill did some testing on.) This rad might be usefull in a test for highest system flow rate as it's really low resistence.

3. Cascade (I don't have a White Water, but this would be a high restriction block to use).

pHaestus I think your idea of testing of pump flows through various system configurations can, in time be just as valuable as the heater core data base has been to so many. A fine idea and effort. And like you already touched on, many (most?) water cooling systems have barbs in them, which add a good deal of restriction.

My one added suggestion is to add JUST ONE 90 fitting to show all who read this data in the future how damaging to flow they are. Perhaps adding the 90 into the highest flowing & lowest flowing configurations, but not any others, to save time.

Shoot me a PM if you're interested in testing any/all the above components.
