Centrifugal Pump Test Rig Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14106

This experimental apparatus is a closed circuit test rig designed for the comprehensive performance analysis of a centrifugal monoblock pump. The unit allows for the empirical determination of key hydraulic and mechanical parameters, such as the total head, discharge, and efficiency of the pump. The pump's operating conditions are controlled by a gate valve on the discharge pipe, which is used to adjust the head. The head is measured by a vacuum gauge on the suction pipe and a pressure gauge on the discharge pipe. The discharge (flow rate) can be measured either volumetrically using a measuring tank or directly using a water flow meter. The input electrical power is quantified using an energymeter.

Objectives: Centrifugal Pump Performance Testing

Objective	Key Metric Investigated	Application in Hydraulic Machinery
Pump Head Measurement	Total Head (H)	Determining the total energy imparted to the fluid by the pump (sum of suction and discharge heads).
Discharge Measurement	Flow Rate (Q)	Quantifying the volume of fluid moved per unit time.
Input Power Measurement	Electrical Power (Pin)	Determining the electrical energy consumed by the motor using the energymeter.
Efficiency Calculation	Overall Pump Efficiency eta	Calculating the ratio of hydraulic output power (rho * g * Q * H) to electrical input power.
Characteristic Curve Plotting	H-Q, eta-Q, and P-Q curves	Plotting the relationship between Head, Efficiency, and Power versus Discharge for various speeds (if Tachometer is available).
