Re: Anyone develop a radiator flow test without removing it?

I noticed the flow meter in the picture. However note that instruction for building the tank and stand and fittings etc there is no mention of a flow meter. Minor critical detail on my part i suppose.

After reading the procedure instructions closer:
Then one mite simply fill the radiator. Then release the water in the filled radiator (start the stop watch) while pouring in a 5 gal bucket of water thru the filler neck of rad. When it all runs out stop the stop watch,add rad capaacity to the 5 gallons and then do the math.

That should simulate precisely what the large equipment would do falling slightly short of the added force from the Packards test tank height (which can also be compensated for but probably negligable).
