Operating characteristics of an agitator in a tube are necessary for the calculation of its pumping capacity and power consumption in a given configuration. General dimensionless equations for pumping and power characteristics are presented which were derived by inspection analysis of basic equations. Experimental procedure for the determination of these characteristics is put forward. This procedure is based on the measurement of flow rate or pressure rise and power consumption for an agitator in a draft tube, calandria or closed tube. The measurements and their evaluation are illustrated on the example of a three-blade screw agitator.
