 Definition of Diaphragm valve

A diaphragm valve is a linear motion valve that is used to start/stop and control fluid
flow  .

Diameter ranges:
From 0.5" to 14". .

Pressure range:
From 13.8 bar (200psi) - (Depending on material).

Temperature range:
From -10ºc (-14ºF) up to +170ºC (+350ºF) - (Depending on material).

Method Of Control
Diaphragm Valve Function
 Media

• The operating parts of the diaphragm valve are isolated

from the flow. This makes this valve suitable for viscous
flows and also hazardous, abrasive and corrosive flows as
its sealing system avoids any contamination towards or
from the environment

 Material Of Construction

• Diaphragm material:
Buna N (NBR), Butyl (CIIR), Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPDM),
Hypalon® (CSM), Natural Rubber (NR), Neoprene (CR)
 Connection Type

• Butt-weld, Clamp, Flange, Screwed, Socket

and Spigot Weld
 Applications

• Typical applications:
1. Clean or dirty water and air service applications
2. De-mineralized water treatment                                     
3. Corrosive applications
4. Radwaste systems in nuclear facilities
5. Vacuum service
6. Food processing, pharmaceutical, and brewing
systems
 Advantages of Diaphragm Valves

• 1. Can be used as on-off and throttling service valves.

2. Offer good chemical resistance due to variety of linings
available.
3. Stem leakage is eliminated.
4. Provides bubble-tight service.
5. Does not have pockets to trap solids, slurries, and other
impurities. It is suitable for slurries and viscous fluids
 Disadvantages of Diaphragm Valves

• 1. The weir may prevent full drainage of piping.

2. Working temperatures and pressures are limited by the
diaphragm material. Generally the pressures are limited to 200
psi (1380 kPa) and temperatures up to 400 F (204 C).
3. The diaphragm may also limit the hydrostatic pressure.
4. The diaphragm may experience erosion when used extensively
in severe throttling service containing impurities.
