Hydraulic Ram Pump
Product Code : LSK-FM-10434
Hydraulic Ram Pump (SKU LSK-FM-10434) is a fluid mechanics teaching apparatus that uses the water hammer effect, rather than a motor, to lift a smaller share of its supply water to a higher level. It serves fluid mechanics lab experiments in B.Tech and diploma engineering courses and TVET hydraulics modules. The unit is built by Science Lab Supplies at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and sold straight from that factory to colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The apparatus has three main parts: a wall-mounted header tank, the ram pump and the interconnecting pipework. The pump carries an air vessel to reduce hydraulic shock, a delivery section and a supply pipe with inner and outer valves; weights placed on the outer valve's platform change the pump's cycle times.

Applications and Experiments for the Hydraulic Ram Pump
The apparatus shows how the momentum of a large, slow column of water can be exchanged for pressure that raises a smaller flow up a gradient. It supports practicals on water hammer, unsteady pipe flow and pump efficiency in engineering degree, polytechnic and vocational hydraulics courses.
- B.Tech fluid mechanics lab: comparing delivered flow with supply flow.
- Diploma hydraulics: how loading the outer valve changes cycle times.
- TVET water supply modules: a pump driven by the flowing water itself.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each set comprises the header tank for wall mounting, the ram pump with air vessel, delivery section and supply pipe with inner and outer valves, the interconnecting pipework, weights for the outer valve platform and a textbook on ram pumps. The Digital Hydraulic Bench is a separate product.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can cover one ram pump for a demonstration or several units for a full hydraulics laboratory, and each sets out the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested. Other engineering lab equipment in India from this range can join it.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter, Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal and Bangladesh. To start an order, add items to the enquiry cart or write through the contact page; tender buyers can also use the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a ram pump work without a motor?
The moving water column in the drive pipe acts like a plunger. When the valve closes, the water hammer forces part of the water into the delivery pipe, so a large, slow flow lifts a smaller one higher.
What changes the pump's cycle time?
The outer valve on the supply pipe has a weight platform. Loading it with the weights provided changes the cycle times, which students record and compare between runs.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
It is the manufacturer. This apparatus is produced at the company's factory in Saha, Ambala, India, and your quotation is issued by the factory itself rather than a reseller.
What is needed to run the Hydraulic Ram Pump?
The pump fits onto and works with the Digital Hydraulic Bench, and the header tank needs a suitable wall. The bench can join the same quotation if your laboratory lacks one.
