What is a Centrifugal Pump?
Centrifugal Pumps Overview Centrifugal Pumps are the most popular and commonly used type of pump for the transfer of fluids. In simple words, it is a pump that uses a rotating impeller to move water or other fluids by using centrifugal force. These are the undisputed pump choice especially for delivering liquid from one location […]
What is a Positive Displacement Pump?
Positive displacement pumps are “constant flow” pumps. Despite pressure in the discharge, positive displacement pumps will not adjust their flow rate.
What is a Simplex Pump?
A simplex is the designation of a reciprocating pump which utilizes a single drive rod design.
What is a Single Action Pump?
Single Action (Pump): A reciprocating pump design that produces a pressure differential across the pump in only one direction of drive rod motion.
What is a Dual-Acting Pump?
A reciprocating pump design which produces a pressure differential across the pump on both the in and out stroke of each drive rod.
What is a Duplex Pump?
A designation of a reciprocating pump that uses two drive rods. Duplex pumps are common in both single and dual acting designs.
What is a Triplex Pump?
Triplex (Pump): A reciprocating pump design that utilizes three separate drive rods to drive the pumps plungers or pistons.
