2.6.  Procedures
Operating
1.   Set up the Hydraulic Bench on an even surface.
2.   Fill the sump tank with water until the water level is 10cm. below edge of sump tank.
3.   Connect the apparatus to an electric power supply.
4.   Screw the discharge cap or a hose at the end of the discharge pipe.
5.   Turn on the main power switch and turn on pump.
6.   Open flow adjustment valve carefully.

Volumetric Flow rate Determination


1.   To do so, use stopwatch to establish time t required for raising the level in the volumetric tank of
the HM 150 from 20 L to 30 L.
2.   Close the outlet valve.
3.   Read the actual volume at the remote sight gauge.
