Hydraulic Ram And Pump

Hydraulic Ram and Pump are two types of pumps that fall under the supply class Power and Hand Pumps in the supply group Pumps and Compressors.

1. Hydraulic Ram: A hydraulic ram, also known as a water ram, is a type of pump that uses the energy of flowing water to pump a smaller quantity of water to a higher elevation. It operates based on the principle of water hammer, where the momentum of a large volume of water is used to lift a smaller volume of water to a higher level. Hydraulic rams are commonly used in rural areas for irrigation, water supply, and other applications where a constant flow of water is available.

2. Hydraulic Pump: A hydraulic pump is a mechanical device that converts mechanical power into hydraulic energy. It is used to generate flow and pressure in a hydraulic system, which is then used to operate various hydraulic machinery and equipment. Hydraulic pumps are commonly used in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and automotive, where hydraulic power is required for tasks such as lifting heavy loads, operating machinery, and controlling hydraulic systems.

Both hydraulic ram and pump are essential components in hydraulic systems and play a crucial role in various applications where the transfer of fluid power is required.
