Where Diaphragm Valves are used?


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.
