I used a digital manometer and pitot tube ($50 on Amazon), 40 feet of clear vinyl tubing, one of my new Scanivalve pressure patches (less than $10), and some painter's tape to gather this data.

I cannot comment on your testing methods, but you have put a lot of work into this. Bravo!
A post of yours from 2018......

The 2018 post has no link or citation credit from where it was sourced. However I'm going to assume it is of standard color coding.
If somebody can post a typical CFD color key I'd appreciate it.
I just want to compare the two data sets.
