TESTING
ROOMS

Testing laboratories to determine the quality and characteristics of electric motors and pumps, from the testing of the prototypes to the final production check before they are put on sale.

SAER Elettropompe's plants incorporate two testing and inspection laboratories to test pumps and electric motors, both surface and submersible models. This is a crucial phase of the production process which the Emilian company places a particular focus on, and which plays a major part in creating SAER's competitive advantage in the international electric pumps market.

SAER's testing rooms are highly specialised, technologically advanced environments which are designed to conduct accurate and reliable tests. Designed and organised to simulate the actual operating conditions of the pumps and motors, even under high-stress conditions, the testing rooms allow SAER's engineers and technicians to evaluate the performance, efficiency and reliability of the products.

POSSIBLE
TESTS

SAER's testing rooms are equipped with specialised tools and equipment to monitor and measure different parameters during the tests, and the tests also differ depending on the pump or motor being assessed.

ALL TESTS

HYDRAULIC TESTS - Standard: EN ISO 9906:2012

TESTS ON MOTORS - Standard: EN 60034

ATTENDED TEST - On request, the tests can be performed in the presence of bodies accredited for the certification tests, or can be attended by the customer 

MATERIALS ANALYSIS - Chemical analysis of the composition of the metals can also be performed using an optical emission spectrometer or X-ray quantometer, with the certificate 3.1 issued in accordance with EN10204

  • SOLAR PANELS FOR TESTING OF SOLAR PUMPS

INSTRUMENTS AND
EQUIPMENT

SAER's testing rooms are equipped with some automated control systems for monitoring and regulating the test parameters in real time, but this does not preclude the presence of highly specialised human resources who are able to correctly conduct the tests, assess the performance of the electric pumps, draft the final reports and analyse the resulting data in order to manage any faults or critical issues.
The ultimate goal is to ensure the highest levels of safety and quality standards in accordance with applicable standards and regulations.
