The advanced Centrifugal Pump Test Rig is a self-contained unit operated on closed circuit basis containing a sump tank. The set-up consists of a Centrifugal pump coupled with a DC Motor. Power input to the DC Motor is varied by means of a Thruster controlled DC Drive to vary the RPM of motor. A RPM Indicator with Proximity sensor indicates the RPM of Pump. Flow of water is measured by using measuring tank and stopwatch. Vacuum gauge is fitted on suction line and Pressure gauge is fitted on delivery line to measure the pressure.

Centrifugal pumps are turbo machines that are used for conveying fluids. The unit can be used to study a centrifugal pump and to record a typical pump characteristic curve.
The experimental unit includes a self-priming centrifugal pump, a ball valve on the outlet side and manometers on the inlet and outlet side. An asynchronous motor drives it. The speed is infinitely adjustable by using a frequency converter. A ball valve is used to adjust the head.
