Yes, it absolutely would.

A proper flow test has many parameters, including temperature, viscosity, head (or pressure), flow rate. The driver should be mapped too. For an electric motor as in this example, volts and current can be captured. Other drivers such as engines have different measurements but that doesn't apply here.
There's a bunch of different pump designs. Centrifugal pumps behave different from rotary gear or vane pumps. I don't know which ours is.
I think some fuel systems such as diesels have crazy high pressures. 47psi seems pretty mild in my understanding. That pressure needs to be taken into account with the injectors and engine management, of which I have zero experience with.
