The study "Development, Construction and Testing of Hydraulic Ram Pump K was conducted at the Don Severino AgriculturaI College, Indang,Cavite from December 1991 to March 1992. It specifically aimed to develop and construct a low-cost hydraulic ram pump which will suit the rural conditions.
The hydraulic ram pump has three components namely the impulse valve, the check valve, and the air chamber. The impulse valve and the check valves are the two moving parts which control the operation. The air chamber provides the pressure necessary to I if t water to higher elevation. The hydraulic ram operates at a minimum fall 30.49 cm. (1 feet) and tested up to maximum falI 152.44 cm. (5 feet). The maximum delivery was obtained at 152. 44 cm. (5feet) fall l with 50. 33 1 i tar 5 per minute lift of 152.44 (5 feet). On the other hand, the lowest delivery of 2. 15 liters per minute was observed when its fall l was 30.49 cm.
