The present set-up is designed to study characteristics of a given centrifugal pump. The centrifugal pump is coupled to a swinging frame type DC Motor which permits direct torque measurement with the help of a spring balance. A speed control arrangement facilitates the end user to operate the centrifugal pump at different speeds. To calculate the input power to the motor, an energy meter is provided. A RPM Indicator with Proximity sensor indicates the RPM of Pump. Present set-up is self-contained water re-circulating unit, provided with a sump tank, centrifugal pump etc. Water is pumped by means of centrifugal pump and passing through the pipeline, it returns back to the sump which make the system re-circulating type. Flow of water is diverted either to measuring tank or sump tank with the means of a flow diverter, when needed. Control valves and Pressure gauges are fitted in suction and discharge line of the centrifugal pump to conduct the experiments on different head and flow. Flow rate of water is measured with the help of measuring tank with piezometer and stopwatch. The supplied set-up is complete in all respect. Only water supply and electricity supply are to be provided by the end user for running the set-up.
