Diaphragm pumps can be rather useful solutions to pump downtimes. For example, a diaphragm pump can continue pumping when the original centrifugal pump is down. Diaphragm pumps can be employed as a substitute in the short-term to replace a centrifugal pump in need of repairs. A diaphragm pump is “a type of reciprocating pump used … Read more
Pressure surging in pumping systems can be fatal and potentially destructive to pumps. Surging is “A sudden increase in the pressure of the liquid in a pipeline brought about by an abrupt change in flow velocity”1. The change in pressure can be a drastic increase or a decrease. A surge is also defined as “An … Read more
One may look upon any pump and from the outside, contemplate that only the size of any given pump is what separates one pump from another. However, beyond the housing of a pump, the differences between pumps such as their shapes and functions are vastly different: this becomes clearer when the interior of a pump … Read more
