Diaphragm pumps are used to transport_________________?
Correct answer: D. Slurries
- A. Solids
- B. Liquids
- C. Fluids
- D. Slurries
Explanation
Diaphragm pumps are especially useful for slurries because the flexible diaphragm and valves can handle suspended solids while isolating the pumped material from the drive mechanism. They can also pump ordinary liquids, but slurries are the more specific answer.
