Positive displacement pumps; a guide to performance evaluation.9780470180976 Positive displacement A positive displacement meter is a type of flow meter that requires the fluid being measured to mechanically displace components in the meter in order for any fluid flow to occur. A diaphragm meter, with which most homes are equipped, is an example of a positive displacement meter. pumps; a guide to performance evaluation Performance evaluation The assessment of a manager's results, which involves, first, determining whether the money manager added value by outperforming the established benchmark (performance measurement) and, second, determining how the money manager achieved the calculated return .
