Centrifugal Pump Test Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14124

The Centrifugal Pump Test Apparatus is designed to enable students to study the operation and performance characteristics of a typical centrifugal pump, which is widely used in industrial, domestic, and irrigation applications. The pump increases the potential energy of a liquid by the action of an impeller rotating within a volute casing.

The module features a variable speed centrifugal pump driven by a DC shunt wound motor. This motor is suspended, allowing the driving torque to be measured directly using a torque wrench. Motor speed and power consumption are displayed digitally. Bourdon tube pressure gauges are mounted at the inlet and exit to measure the head increase across the pump. The flow rate is measured volumetrically using the measuring tank of the hydraulic bench and can be cross-checked with an independent water flow meter in the discharge line. The unit is designed to be mobile and all components are corrosion resistant.
