Reciprocating Pump Test Rig
Overview
The Reciprocating Pump Test Rig is a specially designed fluid mechanics educational setup used for studying the performance and characteristics of reciprocating pumps. It is widely used in I.T.I., engineering colleges, polytechnic institutes, and training centers to provide hands-on experience in understanding positive displacement pumps.
This reciprocating pump lab equipment helps students perform experiments related to flow rate, pressure variation, efficiency, and input power requirements. By analyzing results, learners gain practical insights into the working principles and applications of reciprocating pumps used in hydraulic systems, industries, and real-world engineering projects.
Product Description
The reciprocating pump trainer is built on a sturdy MS powder-coated frame and includes a single-cylinder reciprocating pump driven by an electric motor. The system is equipped with pressure gauges, vacuum gauges, flow measuring units, suction and delivery piping, and a control panel for safe and smooth operation.
This reciprocating pump test apparatus allows students to study the relationship between discharge and head, analyze the effect of speed on pump performance, and calculate the overall efficiency of the pump. The reciprocating pump experimental setup for labs provides repeatable results, making it a valuable tool for performance testing and academic learning.
