Hydraulic Ram Pump
Product Code : LSK-FM-10434
Hydraulic Ram Pump (SKU LSK-FM-10434) is a fluid mechanics teaching apparatus that uses the water hammer effect to lift a smaller share of its supply water to a higher level. It suits fluid mechanics lab experiments in B.Tech and diploma engineering courses and TVET hydraulics modules. Every unit is manufactured at the Science Lab Supplies works on Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and colleges, tender contractors and distributors receive their quotation from that factory.
Specifications
Each feature of this water-hammer ram pump has its own row in the table below. In short, a header tank mounted on a suitable wall feeds a slow-moving column of water into the drive pipe, the pump carries an air vessel to reduce hydraulic shock and a delivery section, and weights on the outer valve's platform alter the cycle times.
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| SKU | LSK-FM-10434 |
| Pump type | Hydraulic ram; not a normal mechanically-operated pump |
| Operating principle | Water hammer effect from the momentum of a moving water column |
| Drive column | Low-velocity water in the supply (drive) pipe, acting like a plunger |
| Energy exchange | Momentum of a large amount of water pumps a smaller amount up a gradient |
| Main parts | 3: header tank, pump, interconnecting pipework |
| Header tank mounting | Mounts to a suitable wall |
| Air vessel | Fitted, to reduce hydraulic shock |
| Delivery section | Fitted on the pump |
| Supply pipe valves | Inner valve and outer valve |
| Outer valve | Weight platform for loading with weights |
| Weights | Provided; loading them changes the cycle times |
| Compatible bench | Fits onto and works with the Digital Hydraulic Bench |
| Documentation | Textbook introducing all aspects of ram pumps |
| Manufacturer | Science Lab Supplies, Saha, Ambala, Haryana |
| Country of origin | India |
Applications and Experiments for the Hydraulic Ram Pump
The apparatus shows how the momentum of a large, slow column of water can be exchanged for pressure that raises a smaller flow up a gradient. It supports practicals on water hammer, unsteady pipe flow and pump performance in engineering degree, polytechnic and vocational hydraulics courses.
- B.Tech fluid mechanics lab: comparing delivered flow with supply flow.
- Diploma hydraulics: how loading the outer valve changes the cycle times.
- Momentum topics: relating the ram's action to the jet force measured with the Impact of a Jet apparatus.
- TVET water supply modules: a pump driven by flowing water, contrasted with the double valve action of the glass Force Pump model.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each set comprises the header tank for wall mounting, the ram pump with air vessel, delivery section and supply pipe with inner and outer valves, the interconnecting pipework, weights for the outer valve platform and a textbook on ram pumps. The Digital Hydraulic Bench is a separate product that can be added to the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can cover one ram pump for a demonstration or several units for a full hydraulics laboratory, and each sets out the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested. Other engineering lab equipment in India from this range can join it.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter, Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal and Bangladesh. For a price on this ram pump, send your quantity through the contact page, place it in the enquiry cart, or follow the lab tender page for a formal tender.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a ram pump work without a motor?
The moving water column in the drive pipe acts like a plunger. When the valve closes, the water hammer forces part of the water into the delivery pipe, so a large, slow flow lifts a smaller one higher.
What changes the pump's cycle time?
The outer valve on the supply pipe has a weight platform. Loading it with the weights provided changes the cycle times, which students can record and compare between runs.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
The ram pump, its header tank and the pipework are produced in the Science Lab Supplies factory at Saha, Ambala, India. That makes the company the manufacturer, and it prices the apparatus itself instead of passing the enquiry to a reseller.
