Variable speed control for both pumps
Closed loop circulation system for repeatable experiments
Transparent tank for visual monitoring of water level
Integrated indicators for flow rate, head, speed, and power
Industrial grade PVC piping with corrosion resistant valves
Applications-
Comparison of pump characteristic curves for single, series, and parallel operation
Determination of pump capacity and total head
Evaluation of pump efficiency and overall system efficiency

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.
Export & Supply Capability-
SCIENTICO manufactures the Series and Parallel Pump Apparatus FluidoSurge-X 192 for domestic and international supply. The unit is suitable for export to engineering colleges, universities, and technical training institutes. Standard packing and documentation are provided with each unit.
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.
