Experience of excellence in pump testing: Horizontal,
Vertical Multistage, Jet, Submersible and Submersible.

Test bench for vertical multistage pumps

With and without motor up to 25 mc/h and 270 mca head.

Our computerised end-of-line test bench with automatic joining system represents excellence in the industry. At the initial moment, the operator enters the code, and the bench automatically positions and engages the hydraulic connections to the pump’s delivery and suction ports. If the pump is without a motor, the system automatically positions and engages the drive motor to the pump shaft. Next, the bench performs a rigorous electrical safety test in accordance with regulations, followed by a hydraulic and electrical functional test cycle. This is done by controlling two automatic proportional valves that regulate the flow rate of the pump. At the end of this process, a graphical test report is generated and attached to each pump, certifying quality and compliance with the highest standards of safety and functionality.

Triple station bench for vertical multistage and horizontal pumps

up to 60 mc/h and 300 mca head and high-flow centrifugal pumps (260 mc/h) with manual connection

The bench consists of a tank and three independent stations for the simultaneous testing of electric pumps as per the subject.

Clamping and connecting are manual. Hydraulic and electrical test cycles are automatic as already indicated for the previous bench. The bench is also equipped with an inverter-controlled booster pump to create additional headroom for high-flow pumps. At the end, a graphical test report is printed and attached to each pump

Vertical multistage pumps with and without motor up to 25 mc/h and 270 mca head

Vertical multistage pumps with and without motor up to 80 mc/h and 300 mca head (see point 4 above)

Fully automatic computerised double-station test rig for horizontal electric pumps up to DN 40 and up to DN 100 (MEC80), for powers up to 10 hp

The bench, based on the code indicated at the beginning by the operator, automatically positions and connects the hydraulic fittings to the threaded delivery and suction ports of the pump. Subsequently, the bench performs an electrical safety test according to regulations and then a hydraulic and electrical functional test cycle via the control of two automatic proportional valves that vary the pump flow rate. The bench also carries out tests at 60 Hz by means of a special converter-variator unit that also allows the voltage to be varied continuously from 0 to 500 Vac. At the end, a visual indication of the test result is given and, if necessary, a graphic test report is printed to be attached to the pump. The total test time is max. 1.5 minutes.

Fully automatic test bench for horizontal electric pumps

fino a 2” (MEC63 MEC71)

Automatic end-of-line test bench. The bench is equipped with a PLC system and operator terminal. Based on the code given at the beginning by the operator, the bench automatically positions and connects the hydraulic connections to the threaded delivery and suction ports of the pump. Next, the bench performs an electrical safety test according to regulations and then a hydraulic and electrical functional test cycle via the control of an automatic proportional valve. At the end, a panel printer provides a swipe with all the data acquired and the result of the test. The bench is also equipped with a 60 Hz converter unit and a manual variac for adjusting the pump supply voltage from 0 to 500 Vac

Testing room for pumps 

Submerged

On-board drive motor)

Computerised automatic test bench for measuring hydraulic quantities (flow rate up to 80 mc/h, pressure up to 50 bar), torque (using a torque transducer from 6 to 200 Nm) and rotational speed (up to 3800 RPM). A variable speed DC motor drives the pump under test. A torque transducer placed between the motor axis and the pump axis, instantaneously detects the torque and the pump

The tank has one compartment for supporting, securing and connecting the pump to the torque-motor shaft and another for holding the water required to submerge the pump after connection.

The software is equipped with a database of pump nameplate data and a database of tests performed. At the end of testing, a test report is issued and attached to each pump.

PumpTest Software

LabVIEW®

Our control and data acquisition software, developed in LabVIEW, efficiently manages the setup and analysis of test bench data. The manual test cycle involves the PC-controlled manual acquisition of data such as pressure, power, electric current and DC voltage. The operator controls the valves and servomechanisms during the test, ensuring complete supervision.

The automatic test cycle, based on preset data in the pump database, automatically adjusts valves and servomechanisms according to the selected pump code. The valve positions itself in a predefined manner, allowing accurate verification of data against sample values with programmable tolerances.

On-screen visualisation and data storage provide a detailed overview of performance during the test, with clear warnings of compliance or non-compliance. The database stores pump specifications and tolerances.

The reports generated include standard test bulletins, highlighting measured values and deviations from sample values. Wherever possible, range-prevalence graphs are included, providing a visual representation of the results. The software adapts to ISO 9906 standards, offering a comprehensive and efficient approach to pump test data management.
