What is the difference between a positive and non-positive displacement pump?

Non-positive displacement has slippage inside the pump and it is a continous, variable flow. But positive displacement has no slippage inside the pump, and it is a constant flow.

Crude oil custody meter?

For custody meter either its a crude oil, condensate or chemicals, it shall be the best accuracy (typically 0.15% or better for volume). It can be either a volumetric flowmeter like turbine meter, positive displacement meter and ultrasonic meter; or mass based meter like coriolis.

A -2 displacement towards the north represents a positive displacement towards the south?

Indeed it is.


Why positive displacement are called positive?

Because it has been decided that the right and upwards directions in a plane are the positive directions and the left and downwards are negative. Originally, the decisions were arbitrary but conventionally agreed (in the same sort of way that North is usually shown at the top of a map). Any displacement in a positive direction is called a positive displacement.


How do you start the positive displacement pump?

with actuator


Can a position time graph tell in which directionthe displacement of an object is?

Yes. If the slope is positive, the direction of the displacement is positive (e.g. north, east, or right). If the slope is negative, the direction of the displacement is negative (e.g. south, west, or left).


What is a non positive displacement compressor?

Well it is very important factor in fluid mechanics. The term comes often in compressors and Pumps. Displacement means change of place( Fluid ), Positive displacement means at all points of operating the discharge will be the same where as the discharge in non positive displacement varies at various operating points. For clear idea on the above compare the reciprocating pump with centrifugal pump at various operating points (by throttling) discharge valve).
