Piston Demo Pump Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14180

Overview

The Piston Pump Demonstrator is designed to enable detailed study and performance evaluation of a reciprocating piston pump. This self-contained unit allows the measurement of the pump characteristic curve and analysis of key operating parameters such as head, discharge, power, and efficiency under varying conditions.

The apparatus consists of a reciprocating piston pump driven by an electric motor, a closed-loop pipe system with a supply tank, and a volumetric flow measurement container.
Electronic sensors measure delivery pressure, cylinder pressure, and piston displacement (via a connecting rod position sensor) to accurately determine volumetric displacement and flow rate.

A pressure retention valve maintains a constant system pressure, while an air vessel can be used to dampen pressure pulsations for smoother operation and to demonstrate pulsation effects.

For advanced study, the unit can be optionally equipped with a data acquisition (DAQ) system, allowing real-time monitoring, recording, and analysis of pump parameters, including the creation of p–V diagrams for performance visualization.

A detailed Operation & Maintenance Manual is included with the system.
