Pelton Turbine Apparatus | FluidoSurge-X 156
A CE-certified turbine test rig for performance characteristic studies, efficiency curves, and energy conversion analysis, 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 Pelton Turbine Apparatus FluidoSurge-X 156 is designed to demonstrate the operating principles and performance characteristics of an impulse turbine. It enables experimental study of jet impact, torque generation, speed variation, and efficiency under controlled conditions. The apparatus operates with a hydraulic bench or laboratory water supply in a closed water circuit. It is suitable for fluid mechanics and hydraulic machinery laboratory instruction.
Product Overview
The SCIENTICO Pelton Turbine Apparatus FluidoSurge-X 156 consists of a miniature Pelton wheel mounted inside a transparent Plexiglass housing for clear observation of turbine operation. Water supplied from the hydraulic bench passes through an adjustable spear valve nozzle, forming a high velocity jet that strikes the turbine buckets. The spear valve allows precise control of discharge by varying the jet diameter. Mechanical output from the turbine is absorbed using a friction type dynamometer, while turbine speed and pressure conditions can be monitored during experiments.

Construction & Design Details-
The Pelton turbine is mounted on a rigid support frame designed to locate securely on the hydraulic bench top channel. The transparent Plexiglass housing allows continuous observation of the turbine wheel, spear nozzle, and jet interaction. The adjustable spear valve provides smooth and repeatable control of jet diameter. Water discharged from the turbine returns to the base unit tank, enabling recirculation in a closed water circuit.
