What is a Diaphragm Valve?
Precise Flow Control with Flexible Reliability
A Diaphragm Valve uses a flexible diaphragm that opens or closes against a seat to control fluid flow. The diaphragm principle of operation is based on the area’s ratio, where the pressure differential across the diaphragm creates the force needed to move it. This design allows for precise control and isolation of fluids, making diaphragm valves ideal for managing flow in waterworks systems where contamination must be minimized and reliability is critical.
Applications:
- Waterworks: Used for controlling and isolating flow in pipelines, ensuring clean and reliable operation.
Key Aspects:
- Flexible Diaphragm: Moves to open or close the valve, controlling fluid flow.
- Area’s Ratio Principle: Pressure differential across the diaphragm determines the movement and control.
- Contamination Control: Minimizes contamination by providing a secure and clean flow path.
