If coolant/water is splashing out of the radiator cap then first of all check the coolant level - many tend to put too much in. The level on an RP type rad should not be any higher than the bottom of the curved section viewable through the cap. Secondly the overflow pipe should be clear. If both these are OK then there's no reason why anti-freeze mixture coolant cannot be used and the cap/rad shell interface sealed with a bit of clear silicone.
Personally I wouldn't bother with a calorimeter. It's just something else to worry about. If your cooling system is in good order then overheating shouldn't really be a problem.
