DESCRIPTION:
The present Reciprocating Pump Test Rig is a self- contained unit operated on closed circuit basis containing a sump tank. The set-up consists of a Double acting, Single Cylinder Reciprocating Pump coupled with a AC Motor. Flow of water is measured by using measuring tank and stopwatch. Vacuum gauge is fitted on suction line and Pressure gauge is fitted on delivery line to measure the pressure.
EXPERIMENTATION:
To determine the characteristics of reciprocating pump and to find out total head, pump efficiency, overall efficiency & volume metric efficiency.
To plot the graph:
• Head Vs Discharge
• Discharge Vs Pump efficiency.
UTILITIES REQUIRED:
- Electricity Supply: Single Phase, 220 VAC, 50 Hz, 5-15 amp combined socket with earth connection.
- Water Supply (Initial fill).
- Drain Required.
- Floor Area Required : 1.5 m x 0.75 m
- Tachometer to measure RPM
