Centrifugal Pump Test Bench Variable Speed (SMT-FM-23-A)

The centrifugal pump demonstration unit is designed to study the operating principles and characteristics of a centrifugal pump. It allows students to investigate pump performance under fixed speed and fixed head conditions.

Mounted on a stable base plate, the unit includes a pump, tank, and all essential fittings with measuring devices for flow rate, temperature, pump speed, and intake and discharge pressures. The arrangement provides a complete setup for practical learning.

This apparatus offers hands-on experience in pump operation and analysis, supporting the understanding of pump performance curves and hydraulic machinery in engineering education.
