Demonstration Pelton Turbine
Demonstration Pelton Turbine (Product Code: SLE/MCE/35) is an impulse-turbine test unit used to show how a water jet drives a Pelton wheel and to measure turbine torque, inlet pressure and speed in fluid mechanics laboratories. It delivers about 5 W at 500 min-1 (rpm) with approximately 30 L/min at a 2 m head, using a 14-blade wheel of 132 mm external diameter and a 10 mm jet. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Demonstration Pelton Turbine Used For?
In a Pelton turbine the pressure energy of the water is converted into kinetic energy entirely in the distributor: the jet is accelerated in a nozzle and directed tangentially onto the blades of the wheel. Each blade turns the jet back through roughly 180°, transferring the jet's impulse to the wheel — a clear, visible example of the impulse principle that students can contrast with reaction turbines.
During a test, students tighten the band brake in steps, read the spring balances to find the braking force and hence torque, note the inlet pressure on the manometer and measure rotational speed with a non-contact speed sensor. From these readings they plot torque and output power against speed to locate the turbine's most effective operating point. It is a valuable addition to mechanics lab equipment for mechanical and civil engineering hydraulics courses.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of units required for your laboratory
- Whether a non-contact speed sensor, needed for rotational-speed measurement, should be included in the quotation
- How water will be supplied to meet the stated operating point of approx. 30 L/min at H = 2 m
- Available space and handling for a 1000 x 800 x 1200 mm unit weighing 90 kg

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the power output of the Demonstration Pelton Turbine?
The Demonstration Pelton Turbine delivers an output of 5 W at 500 min-1 with approximately 30 L/min of water at a head (H) of 2 m, which suits classroom performance measurements.
How is torque measured on the Demonstration Pelton Turbine?
Torque on the Demonstration Pelton Turbine is determined by force measurement on a band brake. The force is read on spring balances with a measuring range of 2 x 0–10 N and converted to torque by the students.
Is a speed sensor included with the Demonstration Pelton Turbine?
A non-contact speed sensor is required to measure the rotational speed of the Demonstration Pelton Turbine. Whether one is included depends on the quotation, so ask for it specifically when you enquire.
What are the Pelton wheel dimensions on the Demonstration Pelton Turbine?
The Demonstration Pelton Turbine's wheel has 14 blades of 33.5 mm width and an external diameter of 132 mm, and is driven by a 10 mm diameter water jet that the blades deflect by approximately 180°.
How large is the Demonstration Pelton Turbine?
The Demonstration Pelton Turbine measures 1000 x 800 x 1200 mm and weighs 90 kg, so plan floor space and handling accordingly. A manometer on the unit shows the inlet water pressure over 0–1 bar.
Who manufactures the Demonstration Pelton Turbine?
The Demonstration Pelton Turbine is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Institutions can order it together with other fluid mechanics apparatus from the same manufacturer.
