Hydraulic Ram Pump Apparatus | FluidoSurge-X 164
A CE-certified precision laboratory apparatus for engineering experimentation and technical education, manufactured by Scientico India to ISO 9001:2015 standards. Supplied with calibration certificate, operation manual, and complete export documentation. Designed for Fluid Mechanics laboratories in engineering colleges and technical institutions.
The Hydraulic Ram Pump Apparatus FluidoSurge-X 164 is designed to demonstrate the phenomenon of water hammer and its application in hydraulic ram pumping. It shows how pressure surges in pipelines can be utilized to lift water to a higher elevation without external power. The apparatus enables clear observation of cyclic valve operation and pressure buildup. It is suitable for fluid mechanics and hydraulic machinery laboratory studies.
Product Overview
The SCIENTICO Hydraulic Ram Pump Apparatus FluidoSurge-X 164 demonstrates the working principle of a hydraulic ram using a controlled water hammer effect. Water is supplied to the ram through a pipeline from a constant head source. When the flow velocity reaches a certain value, the waste valve closes suddenly due to flow forces, generating a pressure surge. This pressure surge opens a check valve, forcing a portion of water into an air vessel where compressed air smoothens the pressure fluctuations and lifts water to an elevated tank. The apparatus allows study of valve dynamics, air vessel behavior, and efficiency of the hydraulic ram under different operating conditions.
