Piston Pump Demonstrator Model FM 72
Piston Pump Demonstrator Model FM 72
Sci-tech Piston Pump Demonstrator Model FM 72 enables the pump curve of a reciprocating pump to be measured.
Item Description
The trainer consists of the pump with an electric drive motor, the pipe system with supply tank and a container for volumetric flow measurement. Electronic sensors provide the delivery pressure and the pressure in the cylinder; a position sensor is used to determine the position of the connecting rod and thus the volumetric displacement. The pressure level in the system is maintained constant using a pressure retention valve. The pulsating pressure characteristic of the pump can be damped with an air vessel. Optionally interfacing, data acquisition makes it possible to record measured values during experiments to process and store data on PC.
