As the diaphragm starts forward on the discharge stroke
the pressure immediately rises inside the liquid end.
When the liquid end pressure rises above the discharge
line pressure, the discharge ball check is “pushed” up-
ward and the process fluid in the liquid end flows into
the discharge line. When the discharge stroke ends,
the diaphragm momentarily stops again. The pressure
in the liquid end equalizes with the discharge line pres-
sure and the discharge ball check reseats. The cycle
then starts again.
