I know most guys understand that the LPM rating is in air, but fuel flows differently than air doesn't it? Wouldn't giving the liquid flow be more accurate than the air flow of an injector? Just a question not wanting a fight/argument.
If one is to solely use it to match flow injectors, then it's not gong to make a difference (between a set, with the same mods).
This is where it can get off.......
5x16 SAC nozzle with no honing or pintle mods... vs Let's say a 5x13 SAC nozzle with pintle mods and honing. They may flow the same lpm in air... but due to pintle mods and honing, the 5x13 (assuming they flowed the same in air) will flow more fluid/diesel than the std. 5x16 SAC.
This is obvious when we have tested lpm vs cc in fluid with honing. A 55lpm non honed injector generally flows 15% less on the fluid chart than the 55lpm nozzle that has seen hone work.
Ever wonder why I made so much power on a "48lpm" injector... and why DDP makes so much power on such little nozzles.... they flow more than lpm leads on.
But again... for the simple purposes of match flowing... it works. Is fluid better....YES
