I did not even know you could vary the rpm with a VFD on a vacuum cleaner motor or AC/DC motor. huh....
I will surely give the roots blower a shot. I am still in lala land on getting my readings but I know we will go all electronic with it and data log on a PC, would you have any preference on bench styles with this in mind? I know I had built the bench before to create a sealed box under the test port to read differential pressure but I am not what else I will need to extract all my data. We had talked about a velocity probe in the air stream but I don't think that will work.
