Hydraulic Ram Test Setup
Product Code : EL-HML-11057
The Hydraulic Ram Test Setup from Lab Exports demonstrates how a hydraulic ram pumps a small quantity of water to a high delivery head using only the energy of a larger quantity of water available at low head, based on the water hammer principle.

Key Features
- Demonstrates the water hammer principle used to pump water to high head using low-head supply
- Pulse valve and non-return valve fitted in the pipe section for cyclic pump action
- Air vessel above the valve chamber smooths cyclic fluctuations from the ram delivery
- Adjustable pulse valve pressure to change closing pressure and operating characteristics
- Separate measuring tanks for useful and waste water discharge
- Pressure and vacuum gauges on delivery and suction side for measurement
Applications
The Hydraulic Ram Test Setup is used in hydraulic machinery laboratories to study the working principle of a hydraulic ram, helping students determine useful water discharge, waste water discharge and overall efficiency of the ram at different operating pressures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Hydraulic Ram Test Setup demonstrate?
It demonstrates how a hydraulic ram pumps a small quantity of water to a high head using the water hammer principle, driven only by a larger quantity of water at low head.
Q2. What is the ram's delivery head capacity?
The ram can deliver water up to a maximum head of 10 m, from a supply head of 2.5 m.
Q3. How does the air vessel help?
The air vessel above the valve chamber smooths out cyclic fluctuations in the ram's delivery flow.
Q4. What experiments can be performed?
Students can determine the discharge of useful water and waste water, and calculate the efficiency of the hydraulic ram.
Q5. What utilities are required to operate the setup?
It requires a 230V ±10VAC, 50Hz, single-phase electric supply with proper earthing, and a tap water connection.
