Abstract: CABUGAO, JOEL COBARIA. Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, April 1997. "MODIFICATION FABRICATION, TESTING AND EVALUATION OF AN ADAPTABLE TWIN-TREADLE FOR LOW-LIFT IRRIGATION". Adviser: Engr. David Cero. The study Modification, Fabrication, Testing and Evaluation of an Adaptable Twin-Treadle Pump for Low- Lift Irrigation was conducted at the School of Engineering, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite from January to March 1997. It specifically aimed to modify a developed twin-treadle pump and evaluate its performance. The modified twin-treadle pump consists of three main parts, a) the pump head which has an arrangement responsible for sucking water up from the source; b) the superstructure that serves as a frame for the pump head and the moving part to control the motion of the plunger; c) the suction pipe which serves as water path from the water source to the manifold of the pump head. The twin-treadle pump was tested at maximum and minimum lift of 5.45 m and 2.23 m, respectively. The maximum delivery was observed at 2.20 m with 201.13 L/min while the minimum delivery was 79.20 L/min at 5.45 m lift. Average efficiency of 89.6 percent was observed at different lifts in both treatments. Treatments used were 1.5-ft and I-ft step heights. The delivery decreased as lift increased. It was also observed that force requirement increases with lift. Efficiency obtained in both treatments at different suction lifts were not significantly different from each other. The total cost of the twin-treadle pump was P4,820.00. It was constructed from locally available materials. The twin-treadle pump is easy to maintain, operate and replace parts because parts are readily available in local shops. Thus, we can say that the twin-treadle pump is adaptable to different areas especially the rural areas.

The study Modification, Fabrication, Testing and Evaluation of an Adaptable Twin-Treadle Pump for Low- Lift Irrigation was conducted at the School of Engineering, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite from January to March 1997. It specifically aimed to modify a developed twin-treadle pump and evaluate its performance.
The modified twin-treadle pump consists of three main parts, a) the pump head which has an arrangement responsible for sucking water up from the source; b) the superstructure that serves as a frame for the pump head and the moving part to control the motion of the plunger; c) the suction pipe which serves as water path from the water source to the manifold of the pump head.
The twin-treadle pump was tested at maximum and minimum lift of 5.45 m and
2.23 m, respectively. The maximum delivery was observed at 2.20 m with 201.13 L/min while the minimum delivery was 79.20 L/min at 5.45 m lift. Average efficiency of 89.6 percent was observed at different lifts in both treatments. Treatments used were 1.5-ft and I-ft step heights.
The delivery decreased as lift increased. It was also observed that force requirement increases with lift. Efficiency obtained in both treatments at different suction lifts were not significantly different from each other.
The total cost of the twin-treadle pump was P4,820.00. It was constructed from locally available materials. The twin-treadle pump is easy to maintain, operate and replace parts because parts are readily available in local shops.
