Gear Oil Pump Test Rig

Key Components and Features: Pump & Motor: A gear pump (often 25mm x 25mm) coupled with a motor (AC or DC) mounted on a rigid iron stand. Closed-Loop Circulation: Oil circulates from a reservoir tank (e.g., 100 liters) through the pump, into a collecting tank (e.g., 45 liters), and back. Measurement Instrumentation: Equipped with pressure gauges on the delivery side and vacuum gauges on the suction side. Flow Control: A valve, such as a modified gate valve, is included on the discharge line to regulate pressure. Performance Metrics: Used to calculate overall efficiency, pump efficiency, and plot Head vs. Discharge curves. Common Applications: Performance Evaluation: Determining efficiency, discharge, and pressure capabilities. Research & Education: Used in laboratories to study fluid machinery. Quality Control: Validating pressure, volume, and quietness before installation. These rigs are commonly used for testing pumps in industrial hydraulic systems and automotive applications
