Facilities
We carry out a full range of performance testing options from the testing of our own PATS manufactured pumps to independent sub-contract performance testing and research and development testing of many major pump manufacturers’ pumps.

Performance Testing
- Full performance testing of all vertical pump designations and submersible pumps using PATS’ vertical test tank.
- Full performance testing of all horizontal pump designations using PATS’ horizontal test rig.
- Performance testing to ISO 9906: 2012 – API 610 specifications.
- Full mechanical run, extended run, condition monitoring and integrity testing.
- NPSH Testing utilising vacuum suppression vessel.
- Testing of complete units and bare-shaft pump arrangements.
- Hydrostatic testing.
Test Capabilities
- Pump Suction Branches up to DN600.
- Pump Discharge Branches up to DN1400.
- Contract specific pipework can be designed and built to order to suit specific test and pressure requirements.
- Flow capabilities of up to 36,000m3/hr (10,000l/s)
- Test tank capacity of 1,000,000 litre tank.
- 8m deep sump with three moveable platforms and no head height limitations to accommodate the majority of pump designs.
- 40 tonne crane provides the ability to handle and install all but the largest of pump-sets.
Test Equipment
We have a range of slave motors up to 1.2MW at 60Hz to cover most testing requirements. Specific motor and generator requirements outside this range can be hired in on a separate contract basis.
- 500kVA Generator
- 400kW VFD
- 250kW Soft Start
- Digital instrumentation for both flow and pressure measurement.
- Power measurement by wireless torque meter or power logger.
- FFT vibration analysis available.
- Load Cells for thrust bearing measurement.
- Full temperature and noise measurement recording also available.
PATS’ test bed facility is immense and can accommodate the largest of VTPs. This is a very useful tool in the determination of pump efficiency, and the production of a pump performance curve.
