Multi Pump Test Rig Apparatus | FluidoSurge-X 294

The Multi Pump Test Rig Apparatus | FluidoSurge-X 294 by SCIENTICO is a self-contained laboratory system for studying centrifugal, reciprocating, and axial flow pumps. It enables measurement of pump characteristics, efficiency, and operating behavior using variable speed control and integrated instrumentation. Transparent pump construction supports clear visualization of internal flow. Suitable for fluid mechanics and hydraulic machinery teaching laboratories.

The Multi Pump Test Rig Apparatus FluidoSurge-X 294 is a self-contained laboratory system designed to study the operation and performance characteristics of different types of pumps. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, the rig enables hands-on experimentation with commonly used pumping technologies. It supports detailed analysis of pump behavior under varying operating conditions. The unit is suitable for fluid mechanics and hydraulic machinery laboratories.

Product Overview

FluidoSurge-X 294 integrates three different pump types on a single skid-mounted test platform: a centrifugal pump, a plunger type reciprocating pump, and an axial flow pump. Each pump can be selected using built-in valves and electrical selector switches without the need for external reconnections. The system includes sensors and instruments to measure pressure, flow rate, speed, and electrical power. Pump speed is controlled using a variable frequency drive, allowing generation of characteristic curves over a wide operating range.
