How do you do a flow test on a car radiator?
This is a method shown to me by a radiator repairman years ago and has served me well. One can be easily baffled by test instrument companies but this simply tried and true method works for most cars (including full size passenger cars from the old school category). Adequate coolant flow through this type radiator core can be gauged very simply with the radiator in the car. Drain the coolant from the radiator (cool engine) then disconnect the bottom radiator hose from the radiator. Using clean and suitable water flowing through a 3/4 inch hose at 80 psi nominal/ 14-16 gallons per minute, insert the water hose into the fill neck of the radiator. The water should flow freely out the bottom of the radiator. Radiators can be tested on a radiator test stand, these are expensive machines so not many shops have them or working ones at least. A find most shops that repair radiators just plug the bottom end ( cross flow turn it on its side) and fill the radiator with water and then unplug the bottom and watch the flow of water coming out. You really need to know the flow rate of a new radiator for your application as a base line. A big Detroit Diesel would be about 110 GPM (Gallons Per Minute) vs a pickup at about 55 GPM.
