A cryogenic helium pump is described with detailed schematic drawings. The test setup and results are given and the pump characteristics charted. The calculations for the thermal efficiency are presented with mass flow rate as a function of pump speed shown on a chart. Conclusions include the fact that a helium pump of this type would be suitable for the use of flowing supercritical helium through ICS magnets. It has pumped supercritical helium up to 7.5 atm with a pump head up to 2.8 atm.
