2. Hand pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_pump

   Hand-powered force pump, with an air chamber to smooth out variations in flow rate. Hand pumps are manually operated pumps; they use human power and mechanical advantage to move fluids or air from one place to another. They are widely used in every country in the world for a variety of industrial, marine, irrigation and leisure activities.

3. Reciprocating pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocating_pump

   Simple hand-operated reciprocating pump. The simplest example is the bicycle pump, which is used ubiquitously to inflate bicycle tires and various types of sporting balls. [1] Power-operated deep well reciprocating pump; By mechanism. Single-acting reciprocating pump consists of a piston of which only one side engages the fluid being displaced. [2]

4. Drum pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_pump

   Drum pumps on barrels. Drum pump, barrel pump, and transfer pump refer to pumps that are used to empty barrels, tanks, IBCs and drums. [1] Many liquids used on manufacturing and processing plants are delivered in 100 or 200 litre barrels and are too heavy to tip to empty the liquids inside.

5. Comparison of pumps - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_pumps

   Different types of pumps are suitable for different applications, for example: a pump's maximum lift height also determines the applications it can be used for. Low-lift pumps are only suitable for the pumping of surface water (e.g., irrigation, drainage of lands, ...), while high-lift pumps allow deep water pumping (e.g., potable water pumping ...

6. Pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump

   If rotary pumps are operated at high speeds, the fluids cause erosion, which eventually causes enlarged clearances that liquid can pass through, which reduces efficiency. Rotary positive-displacement pumps fall into five main types: Gear pumps – a simple type of rotary pump where the liquid is pushed around a pair of gears.

7. Water pumping - Wikipedia

   The spiral pump, as many low lift pumps, is commonly used for irrigation purposes and for drainage of lands. Based on the same principle as the Archimedean screw, it consists of a rotating tube or plane (screw) to move a liquid. Unlike the Archimedean screw, it can pump while horizontal. The Archimedean screw must be tilted at an angle.
