Centrifugal Pump Test Set: 
For a comprehensive range of investigations into the performance and characteristics of a centrifugal pump

• Self-contained, mobile centrifugal pump test set for a range of experiments and demonstrations 
• Pump has a transparent 'window' to allow students to see clearly Its Impeller, the water flow and cavitation 
• Shows how to use a Venturi meter and differential pressure measurement to find flow rate 
• Optional stroboscope allows students to see clearly the effects of cavitation around the pump Impeller 
• Motor Drive has a digital display of pump speed, torque and calculated true 'shaft' power 

Comprehensive demonstrations and Investigations Into a centrifugal pump including: 

• Centrifugal pump performance and characteristics, typically head versus flow and efficiency versus flow 
• Non dimensional performance characteristics 
• flow measurement using a Venturi tube 
• Demonstration of cavitation
