Diaphragms for precise control in critical applicationsIn applications that require precise and rapid pressure responses, our diaphragms offer an engineered sealing solution for high performance valves and actuators. Why use diaphragms?  Diaphragms provide excellent sealing results in multiple applications. For example: Valves, actuators, pumps, pressure & flow control, pressure switches/sensors, dispensing, metering, ventilation, and media separation applications. Valves and actuators controlling the flow of liquids or gases frequently utilise diaphragms for fast responses to small pressure changes. The sensitivity to signal pressure changes will give reliable valve positioning (with very low hysteresis, for example). Additionally, successful sealing in large diameter, high pressure and long stroke applications can all be achieved with the right design. Large diameter & long stroke engineered diaphragms We supply diaphragms in a wide selection of materials including elastomers, fabric reinforced and thermoplastics. Additionally, our range of diaphragms are an excellent seal of choice for a variety of hydraulic and pneumatic applications. Are diaphragms suitable for your application? Our experienced team of application engineers will design your seals and use the latest developments for each individual application. Additionally, we provide a complete seal design service from start to finish. As well as optimal sealing performance in an application, we will assist with hardware design to provide the most cost-effective sealing package. We will optimize the tooling in key areas to produce complex geometries. This is achieved by using modelling and specialist FEA technologies to predict the performance of fibre & fabric reinforced materials. Manufactured in a range of materials with industry specific approvals, our diaphragms are used in applications across many different markets. These industries include oil & gas, process control, potable water management, LPG & natural gas, life sciences and food & beverage. Learn more about diaphragms on this link HERE

Why use PTFE seals?Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a thermoplastic polymer that can be used in a variety of sealing applications; it is particularly suitable where the application conditions exceed the parameters of elastomeric seal use, but are not as highly demanding as applications that require the use of metal seals.
Why use PTFE seals? anchor-right-arrow-purple
Why use metal seals?The use of metal seals as an engineered sealing solution is appropriate where it is not possible to use elastomeric or polymer seals due to extremely demanding application requirements. For example, these could include applications with extremely high temperatures (300°C upwards) and pressures, intense radiation, cryogenic conditions or highly aggressive chemicals.
