Can a Micro Diaphragm Air Pump Hold Pressure After Power Off?

Is your system losing pressure the moment your pump switches off? This common issue can ruin a project, as the pressure drop is often faster than you’d expect. The only real solution lies outside the pump itself. The short answer is no; a standard micro diaphragm air pump cannot hold pressure after being powered off. […]
Do You Really Need a Valve? What Micro Pump Users Should Know About Flow Control

Every week, I get the same question from engineers working on gas sampling, suction modules, or compact dosing systems:“Do I really need a valve if I already have a micro pump?” It’s a valid concern—after all, adding more components increases complexity, cost, and space requirements. But here’s the truth: misunderstanding how micro pumps interact with […]
