Series & Parallel Pump Fixed Speed (SMT-FM-22-B)

This Series/Parallel Pump Test Rig enables students to measure the pump characteristic curves for centrifugal pumps. The introduction of a second pump to the Hydraulics Bench system allows the study of two pump performances, both in series and parallel operation. The unit is maintenance-free due to its robust construction. As a result of its clear layout, the unit is suitable for demonstrations and for student experiments. This accessory comprises a fixed speed pump assembly with interconnecting pipe works. It is installed with necessary pressure gauges and flowmeter for pump performance study. This unit is mounted on a support plinth which can be use in standalone operation.
