Construction & Design Details
The rig is mounted on a rigid skid frame housing all pumps, piping, instrumentation, and the service tank. Each pump is connected within the internal circuit and selected via valves and electrical switches. Transparent pump housings allow observation of internal flow behavior. A variable frequency drive controls motor speed, while rotameters and manometers provide real-time measurement of flow and pressure.
