Hydraulic Testing and Performance Characterisation of Irrigation Equipment. Hydraulic and Irrigation Laboratory<\/h1>\n

Hydraulic testing involves determining the hydraulic variables that affect equipment performance for sizing purposes, obtaining the curves that characterise each piece of equipment: head loss\u2013flow rate, flow rate\u2013pressure, filtration degree, etc.<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n
\n

TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION<\/h3>\n
\n

Hydraulic characterisation is carried out using a test bench consisting of a system of pipes and pumps that draw water from a 5 m\u00b3 tank, forming a closed circuit. The test bench is designed to accommodate any hydraulic equipment to be tested and is equipped with high-precision flow and pressure sensors. It features an automatic system for programming the operating conditions, as well as for collecting and storing pressure and flow rate data as the equipment under test is subjected to different operating conditions. The H\/Q operating range is 0\u20135 bar \/ 220\u20130 m\u00b3\/h.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS<\/h3>\n
\n

This type of testing is of great interest to the irrigation sector and the drinking water supply sector. The tests are of particular interest both to manufacturers of hydraulic equipment (all types of valves, meters, flow meters, control pilots, filters, injectors, etc.) and to companies that need to verify the performance of the equipment they install.<\/p>\n

Depending on the equipment being tested and the variable or variables used to characterise it, the following applications can be obtained:<\/p>\n
