Positive Displacement Pumps
Summary
Positive displacement pumps
move fluids by
trapping a fixed amount
and forcing (displacing) that trapped volume into the
discharge pipe
. They are ideal for
applications requiring precise flow control
and are effective for
high-viscosity fluids
or when a
consistent flow rate
is needed despite
varying pressures
.
