Small Engine Test Set
Product Code : LSK-E-10489
Small Engine Test Set (SKU LSK-E-10489) is a portable, fully instrumented test bed built around a hydraulic dynamometer, on which students run a small single-cylinder engine under load and measure its performance. It suits IC engine labs in engineering colleges, polytechnics and technical training institutes. Science Lab Supplies supplies the set from Ambala, India to colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The heavy fabricated bed sits on a trolley and carries a precision-machined, trunnion-mounted hydraulic dynamometer. Water in the casing absorbs the engine power, so no large electrical supply is needed; a needle valve sets the water flow and level, and an electronic load cell measures torque.

Applications and Experiments for the Small Engine Test Set
With a petrol or diesel test engine fitted, the set lets students load the engine, read its torque, measure air consumption and plot performance curves. Keeping the instruments off the bed stops engine vibration from disturbing readings, and optional ancillaries extend the range of tests.
- B.Tech/B.E. and diploma mechanical or automobile engineering: IC engine performance, brake power and torque.
- Air consumption and volumetric efficiency using the orifice plate and air-box.
- Energy balance studies when combined with exhaust and fuel-measuring ancillaries.
Each engine’s fuel tank can be removed for storage in a fuel locker, which also prevents unauthorised use. Run engines only with exhaust extraction and trained supervision.
Standard Scope of Supply
The set comprises the trolley-mounted engine bed with hydraulic dynamometer, needle valve and load cell, the air-box and orifice plate, and the bench-mounted instrumentation frame. The single-cylinder test engines are optional and are quoted separately, as are further ancillaries and any optional display units.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can ask for one test set or for a complete engine laboratory; the quotation states the packing, delivery time and price for the configuration you choose. Test engines, the fuel gauge and the exhaust calorimeter can be priced on the same quotation.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq and Nigeria.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is an engine included with the Small Engine Test Set?
No. It works with one of the optional single-cylinder test engines, which arrive pre-mounted on a precision base plate and are quoted as separate items.
Why use a hydraulic dynamometer?
Engine power is dissipated into the water that loads the dynamometer, so no large electrical supply is required. Load is varied simply by adjusting the water flow and level with the needle valve.
How quickly can engines be changed?
Dowels and slots on the bed locate each engine base plate quickly and accurately, and self-sealing fuel couplings let tanks be connected or disconnected with minimum loss or spillage.
Who supplies the Small Engine Test Set?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, to engineering colleges, polytechnics, training institutes and distributors, with engines and ancillaries itemised separately on the quotation.
Related Engine Test Equipment
The test set is the base of a small engine laboratory: it needs an engine, and measuring ancillaries add further experiments. These four items from the Engines range connect to it directly, and all of them can go on one quotation.
- 4 Stroke Petrol Engine — single-cylinder petrol engine with exhaust thermocouple for this set.
- 4 Stroke Diesel Engine — single-cylinder diesel engine with a half-coupling to the dynamometer.
- Exhaust Gas Calorimeter — measures heat lost to exhaust for the energy balance.
- Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge — two-bulb pipette for timing fuel consumption.
