Thanks for the information. I really appreciate it. I was told to model the lab after something done at Georgia Tech. They use this:
A high pressure, high capacity MTS hydraulic system is distributed throughout the testing bay with modular ports to facilitate quick and flexible testing setup...
I got some clarity on this. I was told to "shoot for the moon" and describe a pump lab that would be around 500k. It would teach pumps, hydraulics, and incorporate large pressures and flow rates.
Adrian,
Thanks so much for your comments. I wish I knew more about what is wanted. I got this from my dean who met with a local company that expressed interest in funding a "hydraulics/pump lab". The message I got was to come up with a proposal for them. We are a new mechanical engineering...
All,
I have been asked to spec out the equipment necessary to build a small fluid power lab for a mechanical engineering program. I say "fluid power lab" but what was really told to me was "hydraulics/pump lab" but I have interpreted this to mean fluid power. If you believe I am mistaken...
