Air operated diaphragm pumps have earned a reputation in the industry as the low maintenance, easy-to-operate pump option–and rightfully so. However, seasoned diaphragm pump operators know the importance of getting clean, dry air to their pumps in order to avoid a common challenge: freezing. Built-up ice can block your pump’s exhaust system, resulting in slowing…
What is Viscosity? Viscosity of often referred to as the thickness of a fluid. You can think of water (low viscosity) and honey (high viscosity). However, this definition can be confusing when we are looking at fluids with different densities. At a molecular level, viscosity is a result the interaction between the different molecules in a…

Author: Robert A. Leishear Why do things crack? In a word: vibrations. Vibrations plus fatigue equal failure, where cyclic fatigue loading flexes parts or equipment back and forth until they crack. A major breakthrough in vibration theory is presented here, along with an vibration introduction and examples of pump damages. Lord Rayleigh described vibrations in…
