Axial Flow Pump Test Rig (Product Code: SLE/MCE/45) is a pump trainer used to measure the operating behaviour of a propeller-type axial flow pump in hydraulic machines and fluid mechanics laboratories. Its 1000 W pump delivers up to 700 L/min at a maximum head of 1.75 m through a closed 160 L circuit with an electromagnetic flow meter. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer of vocational training lab equipment in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Where large volumes of water must be lifted only a short height — drainage systems, wastewater treatment plants and cooling water supply — engineers choose axial flow pumps. Unlike a centrifugal pump, the propeller builds pressure the way an aerofoil produces lift, with water passing straight through the impeller along the shaft axis. This rig lets students see how that design trades head for flow.
By logging inlet and outlet pressure together with electromagnetic flow readings at a series of operating points, students plot the head-flow characteristic and compare it with the steeper curves of centrifugal pumps. Because the pump is not self-priming, the propeller must stay covered by water: fill the 160 L tank before switching on and keep the level up during tests. The water temperature reading helps when calculating fluid properties for each run.
The Axial Flow Pump Test Rig comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which uses the brand name ScienceLab and is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the rig. Frame, pipework, tank and instrument mounting are built at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. For institutional and tender buyers who need vendor registration details, the company's GSTIN is 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and its LEI is 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49.
Buying factory-direct means the same manufacturer quotes, ships and answers later questions about spare sensors or pump parts — ask us whenever you need them. Engineering colleges, dealers and importers can read more on the ScienceLab company profile.

What is the maximum flow and head of the Axial Flow Pump Test Rig?
The Axial Flow Pump Test Rig delivers a maximum flow rate of 700 L/min and a maximum head of 1.75 m. Its pump output is 1000 W at 1000 rpm, typical of the high-flow, low-head duty axial pumps are chosen for.
Is the pump self-priming?
No. The pump in the Axial Flow Pump Test Rig is not self-priming, so the propeller must always be covered by water. Fill the 160 L tank of the closed circuit before starting and keep it filled while testing.
What does the rig measure?
The Axial Flow Pump Test Rig measures flow rate with an electromagnetic flow meter from 0 to 1200 L/min, water temperature from 0 to 100 °C, inlet pressure within ±1 bar and outlet pressure from 0 to 0.6 bar.
Does the rig need a mains water connection?
No. The Axial Flow Pump Test Rig runs on a closed water circuit with a 160 L tank, so it works independently of the building water system. It needs a 230 V, 50 Hz, single-phase electrical supply.
Where are axial flow pumps used in practice?
Axial flow pumps like the one on the Axial Flow Pump Test Rig are used where high flow rates and a small head are needed, typically in drainage systems, wastewater treatment plants and cooling water supply systems.
Who manufactures the Axial Flow Pump Test Rig?
The Axial Flow Pump Test Rig is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory in Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations for institutions, dealers and importers come directly from the manufacturer.
