Construction & Design Details-
The apparatus is mounted on a stainless steel base with all components clearly arranged for instructional use. Two identical centrifugal pumps are connected through industrial PVC piping with non ferrous valves to allow flexible configuration. A selector switch enables quick change between operating modes. Pressure gauges and indicators are provided to measure suction pressure, delivery pressure, flow rate, speed, and power without external conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What pump configurations can be tested using this apparatus?
Single pump operation, two pumps in series, and two pumps in parallel can be tested.
Q2. What is the effect of series operation on pump performance?
In series operation, the pressure head increases while the discharge remains approximately constant.
Q3. What is the effect of parallel operation on pump performance?
In parallel operation, the discharge increases while the pressure head remains similar to single pump operation.
Q4. Can pump efficiency be determined using this apparatus?
Yes, pump efficiency and overall efficiency can be evaluated from measured head, discharge, speed, and power.
Q5. Is data acquisition software available with this system?
Optional DAQ software is available for data acquisition, processing, and report generation.
