A diaphragm pump is an important component used in transferring fluids like oil continuously through pipes. Pneumatic diagram pump is air operated and it uses the air pressure to transfer fluids that are with some viscosity of low or medium density and liquids with suspended solids.

These are special pumps that are used widely in shipping industry, oil fields and other industries that need liquid of different densities.  The equipment uses compressed air on both sides of the pump through an air valve that directs the air between two sides of the pump back and forth.

What is the principle of pneumatic diaphragm pump?

A double diaphragm pump is a flexible displacement pump which reciprocates back and forth utilizing two flexible diaphragms to create a temporary chamber which in turn helps draw in and expel liquid like oil and other low or medium density liquids.

Why diaphragm pumps are preferred?

Pneumatic double diaphragm pumps are used in oil and other industries that handle fluids because of their capability to handling liquids with certain levels of viscosity. They are also able to pump liquids with suspended solids. This is not possible with regular pumps and the diaphragm pumps are also capable of handling high concentrate chemicals that could be aggressive.  

Where can you buy oil gauging tapes?

Oil Gauging Tape is another accessory which is extensively used in oil and shipping industries.  These are special tapes that allow you to measure the levels of oil or fluids in a tanker or tank. These are specially designed tapes that allow accurate measuring the level of oil or fluid stored in a container. Using the tape is easy and may look like regular measuring oil or fuel levels in a motor transport.

The tape is dipped inside the tanker till its end point touched the floor of the tank. You simply pull the tape out and read the number at the wet point. It is like sticking a stick inside the gasoline tank in your car.

However the gauging tape also enables you to measure oil levels in a tank as well as the empty space between oil surface and the top.  You can buy them from suppliers like Al Mashal Marine, Dubai who excel in providing tools and accessories to maritime industry in UAE and you can contact them on phone number +97142446972 or send mail to sales@almashalmarine.com to order your supplies.
