4. CENTRIFUGAL PUMP TEST RIG 1HP

(D.C. MOTOR VARIABLE SPEED TYPE)

The ‘J.P.T.I.’ unit consist of a centrifugal pump provided with variable speed motor. The pump is provided with a vaccum gauge at suction and a pressure gauge on discharge pipe. The pump is provided with a variable speed drive & gate valve at discharge which facilitates estimation of pump performance at various speeds & discharge heads. Power input to motor is measure with energymeter.

5. RECIPROCATING PUMP TEST RIG

(D.C. Motor Variable Speed)

The ‘J.P.T. I’ consists of reciprocating pump mounted over the sump tank, the unit is self contained, recirculating type, provided with vaccum gauge at suction & pressure gauge at discharge. Input to motor & output of pump can be measured and pump performance can be estimated at different speeds by means of and at different heads.

6. GEAR PUMP TEST RIG

Gear pumps are positive displacement rotary pumps. The ‘J.P.T.I.’ unit is a self contained recirculation type unit. All the measurements are provided to evaluate the performance of the gear pump.
