Description

The  BCP200 bench allows the study of centrifugal pumps of different characteristics.

It is equipped with two pumps, the latter can be studied alone, coupled in series or in parallel. Students will have to select the different couplings and measure the following characteristics: flow, suction pressure, discharge pressure, rotational speed, electrical power, mechanical torque for different operating points.

The bench has a tank for working in load and the pumps allow water to circulate in the circuit.

The robust design of this equipment makes it perfectly suited for school use.

Its anodized aluminum structure on wheels makes it very robust as well as a great flexibility of integration into your premises.

The manufacture of this equipment meets the European machine directive
