Gear Pump Demonstration Unit

• A small-scale gear pump demonstration unit, comprising of a water reservoir, pump, control valve, relief valve and inter- connecting pipework, all mounted on a stainless steel base.
• Equipped with electronic measurement sensors for pump head pressure, flow-rate and water temperature.
• The device also consists of a Transparent pump head for visibility.
• Capable of being linked to a PC (not supplied).
• Available with software  describing the operations and other instructions to use them.
• Capabilities:

• Demonstration of a gear pump in operation.
• Measurement of constant-speed pump performance, including the production of characteristic curves of outlet pressure against:

1. flow ratemotor shaft power
