Performance Testing of Centrifugal Pump Type with 3 Hp Power

Pumps are fluid machines whose uses very broad and important, ranging from industry to household needs. Selection of pump performance characteristics is important must be adjusted the needs which include: discharge, head, power, rotation. The obtained through testing. In connection with importance information about characteristics, this research activity efforts will made test centrifugal pumps using 3 hp power. research, data direct results entered, where carried out at Machine Performance Test Laboratory. test, pressure gauge gradually several valve openings, then entered into table that has been prepared. was ability equipment HP power prepared as one laboratory for engine testing there variables used carry namely first by a tachometer useful measuring shaft rotation, second Bordoun manometer pressure, third an orifice functions measure speed fluid.
