Laboratory Pump

Laboratory
Pumps are small capacity pumps and are used for small scale pumping
applications in laboratories. Compared to industrial and agricultural
pumps, the pressure and volumetric capacity of laboratory pumps are very
small. They are also lighter in weight, compact in size, and consume
less electrical power. They are are suitable for low pressure and low
head applications. Since it is suitable for pumping requirements of
laboratories, it is named as laboratory pump. Laboratory pump is
designed to combine technology, low flow accuracy, versatility and
quality.
How does a Laboratory Pump works?
A laboratory pump is a special type of positive displacement pump which
uses a diaphragm. Hence, it is also known as diaphragm pump. One side of
the diaphragm is exposed to the liquid which is to be pumped out. When
the diaphragm is displaced, it forces the liquid through the
check-valve. As a non returning valve is used, the liquid cannot flow
back into the source container again.
Types of Laboratory Pump:
- Submersible Pumps
