Centrifugal Pump Test Bench (Transparent casing) (SMT-FM-23-A)
The test bench is used for studying the working principles and performance characteristics of a centrifugal pump, making it highly suitable for teaching and experimental purposes. It allows students to understand the relationship between flow rate, pump speed, head, and efficiency, giving them a clear insight into pump operation under different conditions. With its transparent casing, it provides a direct visual demonstration of fluid movement, which helps in better understanding of pump behavior.
The unit is mounted on a stable base plate and comes complete with a pump, storage tank, and all necessary fittings for operation. It is equipped with measuring devices to record flow rate, pump speed, as well as suction and discharge pressures. The transparent pump casing allows easy observation of the internal working, and the design supports experiments with variable speed and head, making it versatile for academic use.
This system is widely used in laboratories for training and experimentation in fluid mechanics and hydraulic machinery. It helps students build practical knowledge of centrifugal pump performance while offering flexibility to study its characteristics under different operating conditions. The compact and durable design ensures reliability and long-term use in teaching environments.
