Axial Flow Turbine test bed

Product Code : SLE/MCE/52

Axial Flow Turbine test bed (Product Code: SLE/MCE/52) is a small gas turbine engine test bed used to measure thrust and air mass flow and to study turbine engine operation in engineering and propulsion laboratories. Mechanical and aeronautical engineering departments use it to run an engine with a single-stage radial compressor and a single-stage, low-mass axial flow turbine, producing a typical thrust of 200 N. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is the Axial Flow Turbine Test Bed Used For?

The test bed lets students run a real gas turbine and connect what they measure with the Brayton cycle and turbomachinery theory. Air drawn through the frontal duct is compressed by the radial stage, burned, and expanded through the axial flow turbine, which drives the compressor while the exhaust produces thrust. Because the engine pivots on a single mounting point, the reaction can be measured as thrust, and comparing thrust with air mass flow gives a practical feel for jet propulsion performance.

The typical figures of 105,000 rpm and 800°C exhaust temperature give a vivid context for discussing rotor stresses and turbine blade materials. Always run the engine behind the polycarbonate screen, keep the exhaust path clear, and follow your institution's rules on fuel storage, ventilation and hearing protection. As engineering lab equipment in India for colleges with aeronautical or thermal engineering streams, it turns a lecture topic into a live experiment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Axial Flow Turbine test bed measure?
The Axial Flow Turbine test bed is designed for accurate thrust measurement through its single-pivot engine mount, and its custom frontal duct allows the air mass flow rate to be measured. Typical values are 200 N thrust and 450 g/s air mass flow.

Does the Axial Flow Turbine test bed need an external battery or lubrication system?
No. The Axial Flow Turbine test bed needs neither an external lubrication system nor an external battery and charger. An electronic pre-programmed controller supervises the engine constantly to keep operating conditions safe.

Is a stand available for the Axial Flow Turbine test bed?
Yes, an optional floor-standing frame is available for the Axial Flow Turbine test bed. It houses the unit together with its fuel tank and electronic console, keeping the set-up compact in a teaching laboratory. State on your enquiry if you need it.

What safety features does the Axial Flow Turbine test bed have?
The Axial Flow Turbine test bed has a tough, transparent polycarbonate safety screen, a sturdy metal frame that holds the engine firmly and an electronic controller supervising the engine. Laboratories should still apply their own rules for fuel, ventilation and noise.

Who supplies the Axial Flow Turbine test bed?
The Axial Flow Turbine test bed is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) of Ambala, Haryana, India. The company quotes, packs and ships it to engineering institutions, dealers and importers in India and international markets.

Is a calibration certificate available for the Axial Flow Turbine test bed?
Calibration-certificate availability for the Axial Flow Turbine test bed, including its thrust measurement, should be discussed with us before ordering. Mention the requirement through the contact page so the quotation can address it.

What should a quotation request for the Axial Flow Turbine test bed include?
A quotation request for the Axial Flow Turbine test bed should give the quantity, whether the optional floor-standing frame is needed, the delivery location and any documents your institution requires, so ScienceLab can reply with a complete quote.
