Small Engine Test Set
Product Code : LSK-E-10489
Small Engine Test Set (SKU LSK-E-10489) is a portable, fully instrumented test bed built around a hydraulic dynamometer, on which a small single-cylinder engine can be run under load and its performance measured. It suits IC engine labs in engineering colleges, polytechnics and technical training institutes. Science Lab Supplies handles quotations for the set from Ambala, India, and can deliver it to colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The hydraulic test bed is broken down into one fact per row in the table. In short, a trolley carries a heavy fabricated bed with a trunnion-mounted hydraulic dynamometer whose water absorbs the engine power, so no large electrical supply is needed; a needle valve sets the load and a load cell reads torque.

Applications and Experiments for the Small Engine Test Set
With a petrol or diesel test engine fitted, the set lets students load the engine, read its torque, measure air consumption and plot performance curves. Keeping the instruments off the bed stops engine vibration from disturbing readings, and optional ancillaries extend the range of tests.
- B.Tech/B.E. and diploma mechanical or automobile engineering: IC engine performance, brake power and torque.
- Air consumption and volumetric efficiency using the orifice plate and air-box; the orifice principle can be compared with venturi and variable-area meters on the Flow Meter Demonstration.
- Energy balance studies when combined with exhaust and fuel-measuring ancillaries.
- Engine-cycle theory: relating four-stroke test results to the port-timed cycle shown on the Two-Stroke Compression Ignition Engine Model.
Each engine’s fuel tank can be removed for storage in a fuel locker, which also prevents unauthorised use. Run engines only with exhaust extraction and trained supervision.
Standard Scope of Supply
The set comprises the trolley-mounted engine bed with hydraulic dynamometer, needle valve and load cell, the air-box and orifice plate, and the bench-mounted instrumentation frame. The single-cylinder test engines are optional and are quoted separately, as are further ancillaries and any optional display units.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can ask for one test set or for a complete engine laboratory; the quotation states the packing, delivery time and price for the configuration you choose. Test engines, the fuel gauge and the exhaust calorimeter can be priced on the same quotation.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq and Nigeria. To configure a bench, outline the engines and ancillaries you want on the contact page or assemble them in the enquiry cart; engineering lab equipment in India bought by tender is handled via the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is an engine included with the Small Engine Test Set?
No. It works with one of the optional single-cylinder test engines, which arrive pre-mounted on a precision base plate and are quoted as separate items.
Why use a hydraulic dynamometer?
Engine power is dissipated into the water that loads the dynamometer, so no large electrical supply is required. Load is varied simply by adjusting the water flow and level with the needle valve.
How quickly can engines be changed?
Dowels and slots on the bed locate each engine base plate quickly and accurately, and self-sealing fuel couplings let tanks be connected or disconnected with minimum loss or spillage.
Who supplies the Small Engine Test Set?
The test bed is offered by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala in India. Its quotation itemises the bed, each engine and every ancillary separately, so a bench can be built up in stages.
