Ok, I've been reading this on and off for a bit... purchased some pitot tubes from bruce and have decided I may build a bench to upgrade my sf110, and buy the plans from bruce here.
this is what is driving me crazy though. i'll put it in perspective for people reading this forum that haven't had a lot of experience actually running a bench but planning on building one.
when you first start out using a bench it's so much fun... but after awhile it gets to be like work... so anything to speed up the testing will make you keep up on the fun part.
when testing on my orifice type sf110 i found out that in my head testing from the different manufacturers of the same size motors i have to adhere to my "range selection" to be able to compare heads at the different valve lifts.
this is where i need advice:
i build a orifice bench use 4 motors. all running at the same time with a speed control.
lets just say i'm in range 4 orifice on head "A" mid-lift 28" water and i'm adjusting the flow control and motor speed control. the motor speed control ends up being 50%.
now since i adhere to my "use the same ranges for different brand heads of same motor size" i'm testing head "B" in range 4, mid-lift 28" water, adjusting flow control and motor speed control. this time motor speed control ends up being 75%.
my question... is the flow between the two heads still apples to apples even though the blower motors are spinning at different speeds?
