This Action Pump 7006 hand-operated piston drum pump is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) for resistance to acids and alkalis, delivers 5 oz. of fluid per stroke, and is suitable for dispensing detergents, most acids, chlorines, oils, D-limonene, waxes, alkalis, water, or soaps. It has a 1-1/2" inlet port with an 11" suction tube, and a 1/2" outlet port with a 22" polyethylene discharge tube that resists abrasion and corrosion. This pump can deliver a maximum of 2 gallons of liquid per minute (gpm) (1 gpm for oil) with a maximum viscosity of 650 centipoise (cps). It comes with 70mm and 3/4" National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded bung adapters. This piston drum pump is suitable for use with 5, 6, 7, 15, 30, and 55 gallon drums for dispensing liquids in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

Pumps use mechanical action to move liquids, gases, or slurries (solids suspended in a liquid or gas). The mechanical action is categorized as either positive displacement (PD) or kinetic. PD pumps capture and release discrete amounts of flow into a chamber and then force it out. Some examples of PD pumps are fuel and oil pumps in cars, pumps in hydraulic systems, and bicycle pumps. Kinetic pumps move liquids, gases, or slurries by transferring energy from the pump's movement to the flow. They use an impeller to draw the flow in, add energy to the flow, and move it through a volute (a spiral funnel through which the flow moves), and into the system. Some examples of kinetic pumps include centrifugal (the most common pump in industrial applications), in-line pumps, sump pumps, and suction pumps. Energy sources for all types of pumps include wind power, manual operation, electricity, and gasoline or diesel fuel.
