Plunger Pump Demonstration Apparatus Model FM 88
Plunger Pump Demonstration Apparatus Model FM 88
Sci-tech Plunger Pump Demonstration Apparatus Model FM 88 is a motor driven plunger pump, mounted on a stainless-steel plinth with a water reservoir, pulsation damper and pipework for continuous circulation. The pump head, measuring tank, pulsation damper and the water reservoir are manufactured from clear acrylic for maximum visibility. The pump outlet is connected to both a sprung loading valve and a needle valve to investigate different loading characteristics. A pressure relief valve protects the operator and the equipment. An additional valve can be used to isolate or include the pulsation damper, allowing the effect of damping to be investigated.

Optional
‘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:
- Measurement during each pump cycle of:
– plunger displacement
– cylinder pressure
– pump outlet pressure
- On-line P-V diagram displays
- Measurement of volumetric efficiency
- Measuring the effect on pump performance of:
– sprung loading valve or needle valve
– adjusting the outlet loading valve
– the inclusion of a pulsation damper vessel
