ValveBenefits for Corrosive andAbrasiveApplications
Our Saunders A Type diaphragm valves have been developed to handle
a wider range of fluids and gases than any other valve type. Awide choice
is available for materials, methods of operation and body end connections –
to satisfy the needs of most corrosive and abrasive applications.
Pocketless design for
contamination free
performance and smooth
flow characteristics.
Linear operation ensures
valve does not induce
damaging pressure
surges or static charges.
Three part design
allows maintenance
and actuator retrofitting
without removing the
valve from the pipeline.
Overall this results in
lower cost of ownership
compared to other
valve types.
On pressure and vacuum, Saunders diaphragm valves operate and close
100% leaktight even after thousands of operations. This feature reduces
processing and handling costs, by eliminating emissions normally
associated with conventional valve designs.
All working parts of the valves are isolated from the line media and positive
closure is obtained even on frequent cycling or with entrained particulates
in the line unlike quarter turn ball and butterfly valves. Throttling and control
characteristics are enhanced by a streamlined flow path that is cavity free
and provides excellent flow control capabilities.
Extended life, reliability, safety and ease of use, combined with an essentially
simple design, results in lowmaintenance for minimum running costs.
