| Description | A peristaltic pump (also called a roller pump) is a positive displacement pump that moves fluids through a flexible tube using a series of rotating rollers or shoes that compress and release the tubing. This action mimics peristalsis, the natural wave-like motion used in biological systems (like the human digestive tract). Groundwater Sampling: common in shallow wells (<8–9 m depth) for low-flow sampling. |
