pressure dome
A cylindrical or bell-shaped container closed at the upper end and attached in an upright position above and to the discharge of a piston-type pump. Air trapped inside the closed cylinder acts as a compressible medium, whose expansion and contraction tends to reduce the severity of the pulsations imparted to the liquid discharged by each stroke of a pump piston.
