Reciprocating Pump Apparatus Model FM 90
Reciprocating Pump Apparatus Model FM 90
Sci-tech Reciprocating Pump Test Apparatus Model FM 90 is used, when a high delivery head is required. The pump is fitted to a base plate ready for installation. The base plate is simply slid into trainer Basic Module Water Pumps and fixed in place. The unit is equipped with electronic sensors for recording intake and delivery pressure. The pump is connected to the experimental set-up using flexible hoses. To be able to interchange the pump easily and straightforwardly, the hoses are equipped with rapid action couplings. The motor necessary for drive is fitted to the Universal Drive and Brake Unit.

In case ‘Sci-tech’ Hydraulic Bench Model FM 100 not opted for:
- SUMP TANK: FRP tank to store sufficient water for independent circulation through the unit.
- MEASURING TANK: FRP tank of suitable size provided with standard fittings for measuring discharge of water.
STOP WATCH: Digital stopwatch
‘Sci-Cal’ Computer Control Software & Interface in ‘LabVIEW’.
‘Sci-Cal’ software & hardware has been designed for use with more than 600 ‘Sci-tech’ trainers. ‘Sci-Cal’ comes in a module that can be fitted or mounted on the Sci-tech trainers very easily.
‘Sci-Cal’ box has 11 inches front HMI interactive panel, inside are i3 processor computer with it’s own hard drive & software processor with 16 to 32 analog and 16 to 32 digital signal data-loggers. The ‘LabVIEW’ processes the input signal with in-built data and formulae to tabulate results for the Sci-tech trainers.
‘Sci-Cal’ box has HDMI output for connection to a projector or an electronic whiteboard or a monitor.
‘Sci-Cal’ box has input ports for inputs from the Sci-tech trainer sensors.
‘Sci-Cal’ eliminates requirement of external computer.
Experiments:
Together with the Universal Drive and Brake Unit and hydraulic bench FM 100, the following experiments are possible:
· Recording of pump curves
· Determination of the power requirement of the pump
· Determination of the hydraulic power output of the pump
· Determination of the pump efficiency
· Determination of the system characteristic and operating point of the pump
