The Hydraulic Ram comprises an acrylic base incorporating pulse and non-return valves and a supply reservoir on a stand, which is fed by the Hydraulics Bench. An air vessel above the valve chamber smooth’s cyclic fluctuations from the ram delivery.

This apparatus is used to study the phenomenon and performance of hydraulic ram pump. Ram pump is a type of pump, which delivers water at high heads without any energy source except flowing liquid at some height. It uses the momentum of flowing water for its operation.
The weights supplied may be applied to the pulse valve to change the closing pressure and thus the operating characteristics.
If flowing water is suddenly brought to rest in a long pipe, a phenomena known as water hammer occurs, wherein a pressure wave travels along the pipe. This principle is used in the hydraulic ram to pump water.
