A diaphragm pump is a type of positive displacement pump that uses a flexible diaphragm to move fluids. The diaphragm’s reciprocating motion, combined with check valves, creates suction and discharge, allowing the pump to handle a wide range of liquids, including corrosive, viscous, and abrasive materials.
