Piston Pump
Product Code : LSK-FM-10480
Piston Pump (SKU LSK-FM-10480) is a positive displacement pump with twin vertically-opposed pistons, supplied for testing on a pump module driven by the Universal Dynamometer. Engineering students use it to learn how displacement pumps deliver a fixed volume of oil per shaft revolution, in fluid power and hydraulic machines practicals for B.Tech and diploma courses. It is manufactured by Science Lab Supplies at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and supplied from the factory to colleges, polytechnics, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Two vertically-opposed pistons deliver a given volume of oil for each full rotation of the pump shaft. Built-in one-way valves set the flow direction, and self-sealing connections reduce oil spillage and make it simple to install the pump on the pump module. The pump is tested in one direction only.

Applications and Experiments for the Piston Pump
Fitted to the pump module and driven by the Universal Dynamometer, the pump lets students measure how delivery and shaft power change with speed and delivery pressure. Because each revolution displaces a set volume, the results contrast clearly with rotodynamic pumps, whose flow falls steeply as pressure rises.
- B.Tech fluid power lab: characteristics of a reciprocating positive displacement pump.
- Volumetric efficiency: comparing measured delivery with the theoretical displaced volume.
- Comparing piston and gear pumps on the same drive.
- Diploma hydraulics: role of one-way valves in a piston pump.
The pump handles oil, so wipe up any drips at once and run tests under staff supervision.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Piston Pump is supplied as a single unit as described above, with its self-sealing connections and built-in one-way valves. The pump module and Universal Dynamometer it works with are separate items; any optional accessories and the oil requirement are confirmed on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
We quote for a single pump or for several when a laboratory runs parallel groups. Every quotation lists packing, delivery time and price for the quantity you name, and the dynamometer, gear pump or other engineering lab equipment in India can be added.
Science Lab Supplies has an Importer-Exporter Code and is able to ship to buyers in Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia and Rwanda. The business is registered under Udyam as a manufacturing enterprise (UDYAM-HR-01-0014546) and for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU).

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this a positive displacement pump?
Its twin pistons deliver a given volume of oil for every full rotation of the shaft, so flow depends on speed rather than on the pressure it pumps against.
Can the pump be run in both directions?
The one-way valves determine flow direction, and the pump is tested in one direction only, as set by the Universal Dynamometer.
Does Science Lab Supplies make the pump itself?
It does. The Piston Pump is built in our Saha, Ambala works in India, so you order from the manufacturer and receive a factory quotation.
How is oil spillage kept down when fitting the pump?
Self-sealing connections reduce spillage and make installing or removing the pump on the pump module quick and clean.
