Central Kansas
Diaphragm pumps are fixed displacement so with every revolution of the shaft a predetermined amount of liquid is pumped down the line. Diaphragm pumps change rate by changing the shaft speed into the pump.
Centrifugal pumps are used to build pressure and flow is controlled by an adjustable orifice i.e. a butterfly valve to change flow to the boom.
