Gear Pump Test Rig

Gear Pump Test Rig

Overview

The Gear Pump Test Rig is an essential fluid mechanics and hydraulic lab equipment designed to demonstrate the working principle, characteristics, and performance of gear pumps. Widely used in I.T.I., engineering colleges, universities, and training institutes, this gear pump educational setup helps students understand the relationship between discharge, head, efficiency, and input power of a pump.

By conducting experiments on this gear pump test rig with control panel, students learn how gear pumps are applied in various industries such as hydraulics, lubrication, fuel handling, and fluid transport systems. It is a reliable gear pump trainer that bridges classroom theory with practical applications in real-world scenarios.

Product Description

The gear pump test rig consists of a positive displacement gear pump mounted on a strong MS powder-coated frame with integrated piping, valves, and measuring systems. A motor drives the pump, and the setup is provided with pressure gauges, flow measuring units, and a control panel for safe operation.

This gear pump lab equipment allows students to determine the performance curve of a gear pump, analyze the flow rate at different pressures, and study the effect of speed variation on pump performance. The gear pump demonstration unit is compact, durable, and easy to use, making it highly effective for repeated use in fluid mechanics laboratories.
