Pumping Plant
Tests Available
A. Neil Dawes
County Extension Agent
Pumping plant tests are avail
able for irrigators to show how
the plant rates in comparison
with the Nebraska pumping plant
performance standards.
The standards were built on
the average horsepower hours
per gallon attained by various
engines and for different fuels.
When an engine is coupled to
a pump, the pump efficiency
enters into the operation. Using
75 percent pump efficiency, the
productive horsepower per gal
lon is reduced by this amount.
The entire unit is therefore
rated on what is termed water
horsepower hours per unit of
t fuel.
A bulletin, giving information
concerning this, is available at
the County Extension office. It
is entitled, “It Pays to Test Your
Pumping plant” and is bulletin
EC 60-173.
These tests may be demon
strated by the University of Ne
braska Extension Agriculture En
gineering personel. In some
cases a technician from a neigh
boring Deep Well Irrigators as
sociation may test the plant at
the owner’s request and at his
In tests the well owner learns
how much fuel his unit uses,
compared to that which is stand
ard for his conditions. The stand
ards give him a guide for his
own pumping conditions which
are different from those of other
well owners. The technician also
has charts available which will
indicate where adjustments may
be made to reduce fuel waste.
Also available at the Holt
County Extension office is a bulle
tin entitled, ‘.Irrigation Turbine
Pump Drives” and is number EC
57-701. The bulletin gives Ln'or
mation concerning the proper
alignment of an irrigation engine
with the pump, and also com
plete information on alignment
of shafts and lifts.
