10. General Notes

  1. Weir-type diaphragm valves offer low flow resistance and excellent throttling control, isolating operating parts from media.
  2. Diaphragms are intrinsically self-cleaning and self-adjusting, eliminating gland leaks and toxic fugitive emissions.
  3. Sanitary models support full Clean-In-Place (CIP) and Steam-In-Place (SIP) cycles up to 135°C steam sterilization.
  4. Straight-through diaphragm models are recommended for handling slurries, viscous fluids, and paper pulp stocks.
