A metering pump that is capable of delivering a constant, rate of fluid
over a wide range of viscosities at infinitely variable delivery rates.
Two identical pumping chambers are provided with one operating in the
suction mode, and the other in the discharge mode with each cylinder
switching modes at each pumping cycle, thereby providing continuous
delivery of fluid in and out of the pump. The displacement of the chamber
is large in order to facilitate operation at a very slow cycle speed of
only one to four reciprocations per minute. The fluid valves are
mechanically operated providing for positive sealing thus enabling the
pump to operate at very slow speeds without leakage.
