Centrifugal Pump Test Rig

The Setup Is Designed To Study The Performance Of Centrifugal Pump. Set Up Consists Of A Centrifugal Pump Coupled With Electrical Motor, Supply Tank, Measuring Tank & Pipe Fittings For Closed Loop Water Circulation. Pressure And Vacuum Gauges Are Connected On Delivery And Suction Side Of Pump For The Purpose Of Measurement. The Flow Rate Of Water Is Measured Using Measuring Tank And Stop Watch Provided

Pelton Turbine Test Rig (Closed Circuit)

The Closed Circuit Pelton Wheel Turbine test rig 50 mm pipe size to develop 1 KW with a flow of about 500 LPM at 25 meters supply head completer with rope brake arrangement, pressure gauge, two round type spring balances.

Determination Of Friction Factor For A Given Pipeline

This Closed Circuit apparatus consisting of three G.I. pipelines of size 20mm and 25mm diameter fitted with a device for quick and easy charge over for a pressure tapings to any through separate lines having isolation valves and flow control valves. Each pipeline with Taping 10meter discharge to determine the pipe friction loss. Mercury column manometer 500 mm lengths will be provided to measure the Differential head. Supply pump set of 0.5 HP, 230 VAC, 50Hz to pump water from the sump to store the unit through proper piping system with a gate valve to control the rate of flow.

Closed Circuit Venturimeter Test Rig

The Closed Circuit self sufficient portable package system calibration test rig for Venturimeter is Primarily designed to study and calibrate the flow meter like orifice meter. This unit has several Advantages like this do not require any foundation, trench work etc. So that you can conduct The experiment keep the unit anywhere in the laboratory. The apparatus consists of (1) Venturimeter (2) Piping system (3) Supply pump set (4) Measuring tank (5) Differential manometer (6) Sump.

Performance Test on Multi Stage Centrifugal Pump

The Closed Circuit Multistage Centrifugal Pump test rig consists of three-stage centrifugal pump

of size 25mm x 25mm. The pump is directly coupled with electrical motor of 2HP, single phase, 50 Hz and 230V. The following experiments can be conducted for plotting the characteristics graphs. Discharge vs. Head Discharge vs. Input Power. Discharge vs. Efficiency. Switch for the above pump set and an energy meter for the measurement of input power. Piping system consisting of pipes, valves, fittings complete with suitable for the test rig.
