Bob,

Based on the (good) additional info provided by Joe, it's definitely well beyond my capabilities to determine or calculate the flow rate in actual conditions. I do however see great value in the results of your test. It certainly demonstrates that flow testing as recommended by many, is of little value except to possibly determine that a radiator is so bad that one would be lucky to make it around the block!

It also appears to me that the apparent restriction of the radiator outlet is to ensure the water travels through all 102 tubes slowly enough that it has an opportunity to cool properly.

Your test gives me a much better perspective on the flow issue.

Thanks,

Marco
