Plunger pumps are pumps in which a plunger slides back and forth within a stuffing box, increasing and decreasing the working volume. Such designs are better suited for high pressures as seals are stationary within the pump, as opposed to piston designs where the seal slides within a hollow chamber.The pumping action is developed by a reciprocating piston which is either in direct contact with the process fluid, or is shielded from the fluid by a diaphragm. Diaphragms are actuated by hydraulic fluid between the piston and the diaphragm.
