Turbine Dynamometer
Product Code : LSK-FM-10476
Turbine Dynamometer (SKU LSK-FM-10476) is the loading and measuring unit needed to test the optional turbines of the Modular Fluid Power range. Fitted to the Centrifugal Pump Module, it applies a band brake to the turbine and displays speed, torque and shaft power. It suits turbine performance tests in mechanical and civil engineering hydraulic machines labs. Made at the Science Lab Supplies factory in the HSIIDC Industrial Area (Plot 448), Saha, Ambala, India, it is offered direct to colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The band-brake dynamometer is set out in single-fact rows below. In short, it mounts on the Centrifugal Pump Module near the pump outlet; each optional turbine carries a brake drum that fits inside it, a control tightens a band brake around that drum, and the built-in instrumentation measures and displays speed, torque and shaft power.

Applications and Experiments for the Turbine Dynamometer
With the pump forcing water through a turbine, students increase the brake load in steps and record speed, torque and shaft power at each setting. The results give turbine power and efficiency curves, which suit hydraulic machines practicals in B.Tech/B.E. mechanical and civil engineering and diploma mechanical courses.
- Torque and shaft power against speed for a Pelton wheel, after the jet-force background of Impact of a Jet.
- Performance of a propeller turbine at different guide vane settings.
- Comparing impulse and reaction turbines on one test stand.
- Turbine efficiency using inlet pressure and flow measured on the pump module, and comparing band-brake loading with the mechanical brake and spring balance of the bench-fed Pelton Turbine.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Turbine Dynamometer is supplied as a single unit with its band brake, load control and speed, torque and power instrumentation. The Centrifugal Pump Module it mounts on and the three optional turbines are separate items, and the turbines each come with the brake drum that fits the dynamometer.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Request a quotation for the dynamometer alone or together with the pump module and turbines; you will receive packing, delivery time and price for the exact list. Laboratories comparing test and measurement instruments in India can have the full turbine bench priced at once.
Science Lab Supplies has registered with an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the Philippines. The business is registered under Udyam as a manufacturing enterprise (UDYAM-HR-01-0014546) and for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Pair the dynamometer with the turbines you need in the enquiry cart, raise set-up questions on the contact page, or consult the lab tender page for public procurement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the Turbine Dynamometer to test the turbines?
Yes. The dynamometer is required for tests on the optional turbines, because it provides the brake load and measures the speed, torque and shaft power they deliver.
How is the turbine loaded?
Each turbine has a brake drum that sits inside the dynamometer. A control on the unit adjusts a band brake around the drum, increasing the load on the turbine.
What else is needed to run it?
The Centrifugal Pump Module supplies the water: its outlet connects to the turbine, and the dynamometer mounts on the module near the pump's outlet end.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies manufactures the band-brake dynamometer in its Saha, Ambala factory in India, and quotations for it are issued by the company itself, so no reseller is involved in pricing or supply.
