Suitable for fluid mechanics and hydraulic machinery teaching laboratories.

The Reciprocating Pump Demonstration Unit FluidoSurge-X 264 is a laboratory apparatus designed to study the operating characteristics of a reciprocating pump. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, the unit enables experimental determination of pump performance, pressure behavior, and pulsation effects. It is intended for instructional use in fluid mechanics and hydraulic machinery laboratories. Optional data acquisition software supports detailed analysis.

Product Overview

FluidoSurge-X 264 consists of a reciprocating pump driven by an electric motor, connected to a pipe system with an integrated service tank. The system allows measurement of delivery pressure and cylinder pressure during operation. A pressure retention valve maintains constant system pressure, while an air vessel can be used to damp pressure pulsations. Volumetric flow measurement is carried out using a compensation tank, enabling accurate performance evaluation.
