| A reciprocating pump is
a class of positive-displacement pumps that includes the piston pump,
plunger pump, and diaphragm pump. In reciprocating pumps, the chamber
that traps the liquid is a stationary cylinder that contains a piston or
plunger. |

Reciprocating pumps are used
where a precise amount of fluid is required to be delivered, also where
the delivery pressure required is higher than can be achieved with other
types. The fluid is moved by the means of a piston that travels in a
cylinder. |
