I think there will be significant intercolumn pressure within the choke section, but it will be dropping from entry to exit. I would expect strain gauges to read it nicely. Two or three gauges would make a nice data set; one at the entry, one at the exit, and one midway and/or one a couple of inches before the entry.


Don,

That is the reason Chuck and I need you to blow up a couple of guns for us! grin
