Centrifugal Pump Fundamentals Training System Plus

Model Number: 277-PAC

A complete hands-on training system for introductory centrifugal pump operation and fluid flow principles.

Overview

DAC Worldwide’s Centrifugal Pump Fundamentals Training System Plus (277-PAC) is a complete, hands-on training system supporting basic introductory training in centrifugal pump operation. Imbedded subjects include: the demonstration of pump cavitation, the effect of the variation in static head and piping configuration on flow and pressure, as well as fundamental basic operational principles. This package includes: Centrifugal Pump Fundamentals Trainer (277-000), Digital Strobe Light (210-131), Extended Pipe Spool Selection (277-001), and Operators Guide to Centrifugal Pumps (532-022).

A modular piping system, coupled with a variable-height support structure, allows for convenient repositioning of the tank, pump, and motor creating new flow and static head conditions. Additionally, optional or user-supplied pipe spool variations can be added, creating many process flow conditions allowing for introductory training in the flow of liquid through fittings and pipe networks.

Useful in all courses relating to the flow of fluids through piping systems, as well as within introductory operations and maintenance courses related to centrifugal pumps and process systems, this device makes training in fluid flow and pump operating principles more memorable and effective.

This is the package (PAC) version — it ships with every item required to run this training system, so you can order everything in one purchase. See Items Included for the full contents. Already have the required hardware? The standalone version is available separately — see the variants below.

Hands-On Training

This complete hands-on training system uses a modular piping system and variable-height support structure to let learners reposition the tank, pump, and motor to create new flow and static head conditions. Interchangeable pipe spools and optional or user-supplied spool variations allow learners to build many process flow conditions for introductory training in liquid flow through fittings and pipe networks.

Curriculum

Useful in courses relating to the flow of fluids through piping systems, as well as introductory operations and maintenance courses related to centrifugal pumps and process systems.
