Computerized Centrifugal Pump Test Rig

Self-contained experimental setup with centrifugal pump, electric motor, suction and delivery pipes, pressure gauges, flow meter, control valves, and transparent casing for study. Pump: Single-stage centrifugal (monoblock) Motor: 0.5–2 HP, ~1440–2900 RPM Flow Rate: 10–60 LPM Head: Up to 20–40 m Measurement: Pressure & vacuum gauges, measuring tank with scale, tachometer, energy meter Tank: Sump tank (100–150 L), measuring tank (~40 L) Construction: MS powder coated frame, compact unit with wheels Safety: Overload protection, proper earthing Experimental Capabilities: Determination of discharge and total head Calculation of pump efficiency (overall, manometric) Plotting performance curves (Head vs Discharge, Efficiency vs Discharge, Power vs Discharge) Study of effect of flow rate on pump performance
