This paper analyzes the results obtained from coolant pressure drop measurements, conducted on a test section comprising 16 rods in a square arrangement. The rod bundle, mechanically assembled by means of two end plates and five grid spacers located at different axial stations, was mounted in a vertical heat-insulated pressure vessel. The measurements, taken under isothermal and adiabatic conditions, covered the following range of coolant parameters
