Diaphragm Pumps
Diaphragm Pumps have some advantages over centrifugal type pumps because of their design… such as
- Good suction lift
- Suitable for abrasive or corrosive fluids
- Good dry running characteristics
- Good self-priming characteristics
- Can handle highly viscous liquids
- Positive displacement
- Will deliver a fair pressure, but not as high as Progressive cavity
- Quite lightweight for the work they do
- Where surging and pulsing doesn’t matter
- Used a lot around fuels because they don’t have an attached Electric motor
