Diaphragm Valves – General Applications
Diaphragm Valves consist of an elastomeric
membrane that closes onto a saddle, weir or seat to provide bubble-tight
closure. Some of the advantages of Diaphragm Valves include capability of
in-line maintenance, bonnet isolation, no packing glands and a streamlined flow
passage without recesses or pockets.
The ability of the elastomeric membrane to
close over solids entrained in liquid, makes it a good fit for applications
where tight seal is required in process fluids that might contain solids or
slurries. The membrane or diaphragm, body and body lining materials can be
selected based on the process fluid for full chemical compatibility.
