Rotary Air Compressor Test Bench (Product Code: SLE/MCE/58) is a laboratory test rig built around a rotary vane compressor, used to determine volumetric efficiency, power consumption and free air discharge in thermal engineering practicals. Mechanical engineering departments pick this technical educational equipment because intake airflow, discharge pressure and electrical input are all measured on one bench, with data acquisition software and USB transfer to a PC included. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

The bench lets students run a rotary vane compressor at several delivery pressures, set with the control valve, and calculate volumetric efficiency, input power and free air delivered at each one. Intake air is measured with the calibrated orifice meter and water manometer, discharge pressure is read on the gauge, and the energy meter together with the stop clock gives the electrical input over a timed run.
Logging readings to a PC over USB with the included data acquisition software makes it quicker to plot efficiency and power against delivery pressure. Before each session, confirm that the pressure relief valves and pressure switches are working, allow the compressor to settle after every valve change, and clear any air bubbles from the manometer lines so intake readings stay accurate.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM for the Rotary Air Compressor Test Bench. The bench is manufactured at the company’s licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, and supplied from there to universities, engineering colleges, dealers and importers without a trading intermediary.

What can students measure on the Rotary Air Compressor Test Bench?
On the Rotary Air Compressor Test Bench students measure intake airflow, discharge pressure, electrical power input, air throughput, pressures and temperatures, then calculate volumetric efficiency, power consumption and free air discharge of the rotary vane compressor.
What drives the compressor on the Rotary Air Compressor Test Bench?
The Rotary Air Compressor Test Bench uses a rotary vane compressor driven by a 3 HP motor. Delivery pressure is varied with a control valve on the delivery side, and the input power is measured with an energy meter.
Is software included with the Rotary Air Compressor Test Bench?
Yes. Data acquisition software is included with the Rotary Air Compressor Test Bench, and measured values can be transmitted directly to a PC via USB while also appearing on the bench’s digital displays.
What safety devices are fitted to the Rotary Air Compressor Test Bench?
The Rotary Air Compressor Test Bench is equipped with pressure relief valves and pressure switches. Staff should confirm both are working before each practical session, as they protect students and the compressor if delivery pressure rises too far.
How large and heavy is the Rotary Air Compressor Test Bench?
The Rotary Air Compressor Test Bench measures 1500 × 1500 × 1250 mm and weighs about 320 kg, so plan floor space, door access and handling equipment before delivery to the laboratory.
Who manufactures the Rotary Air Compressor Test Bench?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) manufactures the Rotary Air Compressor Test Bench as the OEM at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes directly to institutions, dealers and importers.
Can a calibration certificate be supplied with the Rotary Air Compressor Test Bench?
Whether a calibration certificate can accompany the Rotary Air Compressor Test Bench or its orifice meter should be discussed with us at the enquiry stage. Tell us your documentation needs through the contact page.
