Metering Pumps
Diaphragm, Piston, and Gear Metering Pumps
Metering pumps are devices that allow for the controlled delivery of a fluid. The fluid is usually delivered at a constant rate, and it is used to meter or control the amount that is dispensed. The pump is also able to meter or control the pressure of the fluid. There are several different types of metering pumps and each one has its own set of benefits and drawbacks.
One type of metering pump is the diaphragm pump. This type of pump uses a diaphragm to create the pumping action. The diaphragm is placed between two plates and when the fluid is introduced, it is forced into the pump. This type of pump is able to handle a wide range of fluids and it can be used in both low- and high-pressure applications. One drawback of this type of pump is that it can be prone to wear and tear.
Another type of metering pump is the piston pump. This type of pump uses a piston to create the pumping action. The piston is placed in a cylinder and when the fluid is introduced, it is forced into the pump. This type of pump is able to handle a wide range of fluids and it can be used in both low- and high-pressure applications. One drawback of this type of pump is that it can be noisy.
The final type of metering pump is the gear pump. This type of pump uses gears to create the pumping action. The gears are meshed together and when the fluid is introduced, it is forced into the pump. This type of pump is able to handle a wide range of fluids and it can be used in both low- and high-pressure applications. One drawback of this type of pump is that it can be slow.
Choosing the right metering pump is important and each type of pump has its own set of benefits and drawbacks. Make sure to choose the pump that is best suited for your needs.
