Positive Displacement Pumps

Positive Displacement Pumps – Reciprocating and Rotary

Positive displacement pumps are a type of pump that uses pistons or plungers to move fluids. They are often used in industrial applications, such as in the petroleum and chemical industries. There are two main types of positive displacement pumps: reciprocating and rotary. Reciprocating pumps use pistons that move up and down, while rotary pumps use plungers that rotate around a fixed point.

Positive displacement pumps are reliable and can handle high pressure and high volume flows. They are also relatively easy to maintain and can be used in a wide range of applications. Some of the more common applications for positive displacement pumps include:

Moving water and wastewater
Pumping oil and gas
Moving chemicals and other fluids in a factory or plant setting
Supplying water to a fire suppression system
Providing irrigation water for crops or gardens
Boosting the pressure of a liquid or gas stream

Positive displacement pumps are an important part of many industrial and commercial applications. When choosing a pump for your specific needs, it is important to consider the type of fluid being moved, the pressure and volume requirements, and the overall operating environment.
