Test Facility

Simflo's state of the art testing laboratory allows for precise measurement of the performance of new, existing, or rebuilt pumps.  Our facility has a tank capacity of one hundred and fifty thousand gallons, allowing for a stable water level for accurate testing.  A maximum sump depth of eighty feet allows for testing of complete units.  Motors of up to six hundred horsepower can be utilized for testing.  We have test lines ranging from twenty four inches to three inches, with a capacity range up to twenty six thousand gallons per minute, and a pressure range up to seven hundred and fifty PSI.  The latest electronic instrumentation is incorporated into the facility to maximize the accuracy of the testing process.  The water used in our facility is continuously filtered for contaminants which can distort test results.  Calibrated laboratory motors are used to power all tests, unless use of job motors for testing is specified by the customer.  Data is comprehensively analyzed utilizing a custom computer spreadsheet program which incorporates all hydraulic, mechanical and electrical losses for the unit being tested.  All of this allows Simflo to assure it's customers of a pump that will perform in the field as specified on paper.
