Hydraulic RAM Test Rig, Motor Power : 0.5 HP

The Hydraulic Ram Test Rig is a compact and efficient educational setup designed to study the performance and working principles of a hydraulic ram pump. Built with a sturdy steel frame and components made of PVC or other corrosion-resistant materials, the rig provides a reliable platform for demonstrating water hammer effect and energy transfer through a hydraulic ram.

The system includes both sump and supply tanks with capacities ranging between 50 to 150 liters, a centrifugal pump driven by a 0.5 HP motor, and operates at 220V/230V AC. It is capable of handling pressures up to 1000 kPa and maintains a consistent flow rate of about 10 L/min. The ram pump delivers water from a supply head of up to 2.5 m to a delivery head reaching up to 10 m, allowing performance evaluation under various operating conditions.
