Axial Flow Pump Module
Model Number: MFP102
A self-contained mobile module for testing and understanding axial flow pump performance.
Overview
A self contained floor standing mobile unit consisting of a water reservoir, pump, calibrated nozzle and valves. It allows students to study and perform tests on an axial flow pump to understand how it works and calculate its performance.
For use with the Universal Dynamometer (MFP100), the Axial Flow Pump Module is part of TecQuipment’s Modular Fluid Power range. The Axial Flow Pump Module is ideal for student experiments, demonstrations and projects. Axial flow pumps are common machines, used to pump water and other liquids. They can be as small as a few centimetres in domestic use, or up to a metre when used in large irrigation systems. They give high flow rates at a reasonable pressure. The pump fitted to this module has two sections – one fixed and one moving, each with a set of blades.
The module has an axial flow pump and instrumentation, all mounted on a robust, mobile trolley for ease of use. The module is for use with and driven by TecQuipment’s Universal Dynamometer. The Universal Dynamometer measures the speed, torque and power absorbed by the pump. Speed is fully variable up to the maximum allowable for the pump.
Features

Specifications
- Product type: Axial flow pump teaching module
- Range: Modular Fluid Power
- Mounting: Robust, mobile trolley
- Reservoir: Water tank
- Flow path: Water moves from the tank through a calibrated nozzle, through the pump, and down to a fully adjustable delivery valve before returning to the tank
- Pump construction: Two sections, one fixed and one moving, each with a set of blades
- Instrumentation: Electronic transducers for pump inlet pressure, pump outlet pressure, and pressure difference across the nozzle
- Display: Digital display for all readings
- Drive and measurement: For use with TecQuipment Universal Dynamometer (MFP100), which measures speed, torque and power absorbed by the pump
- Speed control: Fully variable up to the maximum allowable for the pump
Learning Outcomes
- Variation of pump performance with speed
- Variation of pump performance with different outlet pressures and flow rate
- Non-dimensional performance curves
- Determination of the specific speed of the pump
