Submersible Pump Test Rig
Product Code : EL-TMLE-10685
Submersible Pump Test Rig (code EL-TMLE-10685) is a closed-circuit, self-contained test unit used to test a submersible pump and plot its characteristic curves at different speeds. The pump has a maximum flow rate of 70 lpm, a maximum head of 7 m and a 0.75 kW power rating, its speed is varied via a frequency converter, and a ball valve sets the head while gauges, an RPM indicator and a measuring tank record the readings.

What Is the Submersible Pump Test Rig Used For?
A submersible pump runs fully immersed in the water it pumps, so it pushes water up the delivery line instead of lifting it through a long suction pipe. On this rig the pump draws from the sump tank and the water returns to the measuring tank, where the flow is timed with the stopwatch; students set the speed with the frequency converter, close the outlet ball valve in steps to raise the head and read the vacuum and pressure gauges, the RPM indicator and the electrical drive power. From these readings they calculate the flow rate, hydraulic power and efficiency and plot the characteristic, power and efficiency curves at each speed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can students determine with this rig?
They can determine the flow rate, hydraulic power, electrical drive power and efficiency, and record the characteristic curve and the power and efficiency curves of the submersible pump at different speeds.
How is the flow rate measured?
The flow rate is determined volumetrically, by timing with a stopwatch the water that flows back into the measuring tank.
How are the speed and head varied?
Pump speed is infinitely adjustable through a frequency converter and shown on an RPM indicator with a proximity sensor, while a ball valve on the outlet side adjusts the head.
What are the pump's ratings?
The pump has a maximum flow rate of 70 lpm, a maximum head of 7 m and a power rating of 0.75 kW, and it runs at variable speed.
Which pressures are measured?
A vacuum gauge on the suction line and a pressure gauge on the delivery line, with manometers on the inlet and outlet side, give the pressures on either side of the pump.
What supply and space does it need?
It runs on 230 V, 1 ph, 50 Hz, measures 1000 × 500 × 700 mm and weighs approximately 80 kg, and it is positioned on a work surface.
