Francis Turbine is a reaction Turbine, which was developed by English born American Engineer Sir J.B. Francis. The water enters the turbine through the outer periphery of the runner in the radial direction and leaves the runner in axial direction and hence it is called a mixed flow turbine. As the water flows to the runner, a part of pressure energy goes on changing into kinetic energy. Thus the water through the runner is under pressure. The runner is completely enclosed in an air tight casing and the casing & runner is always full of water.
The present Set-up consists of a runner. The water is fed to the turbine by Means of centrifugal Pump, radially to the runner. The runner is directly mounted on one end of a central SS shaft and other end is connected to a brake arrangement. The circular window of the turbine casing is provided with a transparent. The circular window of the turbine casing is provided with a transparent acrylic sheet for observation of flow on to the runner. The runner assembly is supported by thick cast iron pedestal. Load is applied to the turbine with the help of brake arrangement so that the efficiency of the turbine can be calculated. A draught tube is fitted on the outlet of the turbine. The Set-up is complete with guide mechanism. Pressure and vacuum Gauge are fitted at the Inlet and Outlet of the turbine to measure the total supply head on the turbine.

ELAB Engineering is one of India's leading manufacturers, exporters and authorised suppliers of Francis Turbine Test Setup, supplying engineering laboratories, polytechnics, ITIs, university departments and Ministry of Education programmes for over twenty-five years. Each unit ships with the complete tender-grade documentation pack — ISO 9001 quality certificate, CE conformity declaration, RoHS compliance statement, country-of-origin certificate and authorised dealer letter — included as standard, not as an extra.
We supply Francis Turbine Test Setup against Government of India e-procurement tenders (GeM, CPPP, e-Procurement portals of state DTEs and DGT), bilateral and multilateral donor-funded contracts (World Bank STEP, AfDB e-procurement, JICA, KfW, USAID), Ministry of Education and Ministry of Skill Development bulk procurement programmes, polytechnic and ITI modernisation schemes, university research grants, AICTE-MODROBS / RPS / MARGDARSHAN funded laboratory upgrades, NSQF-aligned skills development centre projects, and direct commercial procurements by engineering colleges and TVET institutions.
Our standard tender supply scope for Francis Turbine Test Setup covers manufacturing to specification, factory acceptance testing, pre-shipment inspection (SGS / Bureau Veritas / Intertek where required by the tender), export-grade marine packaging, FOB / CIF / DDP shipping at the buyer's preference, marine insurance, destination customs clearance liaison, inland transportation to the institution's site, on-site installation by qualified service engineers, commissioning with the institution's faculty, hands-on operator training and a written handover with a 12-month manufacturing-defect warranty.
Our Francis Turbine Test Setup is currently in service across more than sixty countries. The most common buyer profiles are: Ministry of Education (MOE) and Ministry of Skill Development teams running national TVET strengthening programmes; donor-funded project implementation units — World Bank STEP, AfDB skills programmes, EU technical co-operation; engineering colleges procuring laboratory equipment for AICTE-mandated curriculum modules; polytechnic institutes equipping diploma-level workshops; ITIs modernising trade-specific labs under DGT and state DTEs; private engineering universities with NAAC-accreditation laboratory requirements; vocational training centres aligned to NSQF skill levels 4–7; and corporate skill-development partners running CSR-funded technical training.
Manufacturer-direct pricing applies on tender-scale quantities of Francis Turbine Test Setup. Volume pricing tiers are extended at 10+ unit, 25+ unit and 50+ unit thresholds, with bespoke pricing on consignments above 100 units. On donor-funded procurements we provide separate price ladders for FOB Mumbai, CIF destination port and DDP institution gate as requested. Indicative landed cost calculations — including freight, marine insurance, destination customs and inland delivery — are shared with every formal quotation so the procurement evaluator can compare bids on a like-for-like total cost basis.
Standard ex-works lead time for Francis Turbine Test Setup is two to three weeks for stock configurations and four to six weeks for customised configurations (voltage / frequency variants, specification customisations, language localisation, sponsoring-agency branding overlays). Sea-freight transit adds a further three to six weeks depending on destination port. We accept Letter of Credit (sight LC, 30/60/90-day usance LC), RTGS / NEFT for domestic supply, and milestone-based payments structured against tender progress for turnkey contracts. Standard warranty is twelve months from the date of installation against manufacturing defects, with optional Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) renewals covering preventive maintenance, calibration, replacement of consumables and remote technical support.
The most common reason a tender bid for engineering laboratory equipment is rejected is not price — it is documentation. A missing certificate, a country-of-origin that does not match, a sample that fails on a single specification, or an authorised dealer letter not on the manufacturer's letterhead. As experienced Engineering Lab Equipment Suppliers and Skill Training TVET Lab Equipment Manufacturers for bulk Tender supply, we treat the documentation pack as a first-class deliverable. Our tender desk maintains a pre-built compliance library matched to World Bank STEP, AfDB e-procurement, GeM and bilateral donor templates — so the documentation is the easiest part of the bid, not the hardest.
Beyond paperwork, the discipline of factory acceptance testing before shipment, marine-grade export packaging, and on-site commissioning by our own service engineers (rather than freight-forwarder hand-offs) means the equipment that arrives at the institution is the equipment that was tendered for — with no surprises at uncrating. This consistency is why we are repeatedly shortlisted for repeat orders by institutions and donor agencies on subsequent tender rounds.

When specifying Francis Turbine Test Setup for an engineering college, polytechnic or TVET institution, the procurement officer's checklist looks slightly different to the lecturer's wishlist. The lecturer wants the equipment that demonstrates the principle most clearly. The procurement officer wants the equipment that survives evaluation, customs, installation and the first year of student use.
As experienced Engineering Lab Equipment Suppliers we treat both audiences as customers. The technical specification needs to satisfy the academic requirement — but the documentation, packaging, freight and warranty pack also need to satisfy the auditor. Both happen on the same shipment.
For Skill Training TVET Lab Equipment Manufacturers for bulk Tender supply, the additional layer is donor compliance: World Bank STEP procedures, AfDB e-procurement standards, and bilateral donor templates each have specific certification expectations. Our tender desk maintains a pre-built compliance library matched to these formats.
