About This Product
With this setup, the overall efficiency and pump efficiency of a reciprocating pump are determined, and head and pump efficiency are plotted against discharge. Water runs in a closed loop from the supply tank through the pump to the measuring tank, where the discharge is timed. The HYDRAULIC MACHINE LAB version can be driven either by an AC motor with a step cone pulley or by a DC motor and drive with a non-contact RPM indicator.
