## About <!--about-->
Includes any products that can be described/observed as a plunger pump. A plunger pump works differently from a piston pump as the piston fits loosely in the cylinder, as opposed to a tight-fitting seal that a piston pump provides. The mass of the piston displaces the fluid in the cylinder as it is lowered, forcing it out the discharge side.

### Excludes

Excludes products such as Dynamic Pumps, Rotary Pumps, Pneumatic Pumps and Pumps not specifically designed for use with Fluids.
Specifically excludes other Reciprocating Pumps.
