RT 396 Pump and Valve Test Stand Show data sheet (pdf file)
Technical Description

RT 396 allows the characteristics of different shut-off devices to be compared. The three typical kinds of shut-off fittings - cocks, gates and valves - are represented by a ball valve, a butterfly valve, two slide valves and a control valve. A safety valve and a dirt trap are also investigated. All fittings are flanged, and can be installed in a test system with variable pipe length. The test system is part of a closed water circuit. Pressure measurement points upstream and downstream of the fitting under test are linked by a differential pressure manometer. This manometer is fitted with a pressure switch which activates a warning lamp if the pressure difference becomes excessive, such as when the filter is clogged. An electromagnetic flowmeter permits precise recording of the flow rates.
The closed water circuit contains three butterfly valves, to isolate the pump, and to set the pressure upstream and downstream of the test fitting. Differential pressures across the pump and test fitting, the power consumption and speed of the pump, and the flow rate and opening angle of the control valve are recorded and displayed. The measured data can also be used to plot pump characteristics. 
A vice is included, on a separate workbench, for maintenance and assembly work. The workbench also incorporates the necessary tools and connecting hoses.
 

The comprehensive instructional material provides a description of all the components and of the complete system, including all drawings,
and precisely sets out the assembly and maintenance operations involved.
