About This Product
Adjusting the gate valve changes the head on the pump, while the gauges, the measuring tank or flow meter and the energy meter give head, discharge and input power for each setting. Water circulates in a closed circuit with S.S. tanks, and a tachometer for speed measurement can be added to this HYDRAULIC MACHINE LAB rig.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How is the pump head measured? With a vacuum gauge on the suction pipe and a pressure gauge on the discharge pipe; the gate valve adjusts the head on the pump.
Q2. How is input power measured? By an energy meter.
Q3. Can pump speed be measured? Yes, with a tachometer, which is available as an optional extra.
