Multi Stage Centrifugal Pump Test Setup

DESCRIPTION:

The Set-up is designed to study the performance of Multi Stage Centrifugal Pump. The Set-up consists of a Multi Stage Centrifugal Pump coupled with DC motor & drive, supply tank, measuring tank & pipe fittings for closed loop water circulation. There are 2 separate pumps connected to DC Motor and drive and can be connected in series and parallel to stimulate different combinations. Pressure and Vacuum Gauge are connected on delivery and suction side of each pump for the purpose of measurement. Swinging Field Dynamometer arrangement for direct torque measurement using dial type spring balance is made for individual pump. The flow rate of water is measured using measuring tank and stop watch provided.
