Air-Operated Double Diaphragm Pump
An air-operated double diaphragm pump uses compressed air to reciprocate two flexible diaphragms, creating a positive displacement action that transfers viscous liquids and slurries. Despite being pneumatically driven, the pump's liquid displacement mechanism is reciprocating, qualifying it under this tariff item for other reciprocating positive displacement pumps.
