Product catalog summary
Overview
ASCO diaphragm valves are engineered for aseptic applications, offering advanced technology and compliance with stringent standards. They are ideal for severe aseptic processes, ensuring high quality and unique features suitable for such environments.
Specifications
  • Nominal Diameter: 4 to 100 mm
  • Operating Pressure: 0 - 10 bar
  • Material: Stainless Steel 316L (cast or forged)
  • Surface Finish: Ra 6.3 µ to 0.25 µ (mechanical and electro polishing)
  • Connections: Welded ends (DIN/ISO1127/ASME BPE/SMS 3008), Aseptic connections (DIN 11864-2A)
  • Diaphragm Materials: EPDM, PTFE, FPM
  • Approvals: 3A medical, FDA, USP class VI
  • Fluid Temperature Max: 175 °C
Design Features
  • Equipped with a control box, switches, and position indicator
  • Includes limit switch and optical indicator
  • Manual operators and inductive limit switch bracket
  • 316L stainless steel actuator, designed to prevent external retention
  • Compact and resistant, suitable for autoclaves, with excellent vapor resistance
Innovative Design
  • Circumferential seat profile eliminates fluid retention areas, enhancing internal cleaning and reducing cleaning time and solution use.
  • Flexible diaphragm suspension technology extends service life and allows diaphragm material interchangeability without component changes.
Operational Advantages
  • Positive closure with resilient diaphragm bead
  • Ideal for CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Steam-in-Place) operations
  • In-line maintenance with top entry design
  • Bonnet isolation protects valve parts from process media
  • Streamlined fluid passage prevents fluid or contaminant accumulation
  • Minimal contact surfaces for ease of cleaning and sterilization
  • One centreline for inlet and outlet simplifies installation
  • Modular construction reduces complexity and maintenance costs
Welded Valve Configurations
  • Engineered according to cGMP, self-draining, and minimizes dead legs
  • Multiport valves with a minimum of three tube ends, suitable for sterile sampling
  • Advantages include reduced surface contact, compact assembly, and fewer welds
Multiport Valves
  • Customizable design with compact dimensions
  • Optimized drainability and minimized dead legs
  • Reduced cross-contamination and documentation requirements
Technical Data
  • Butt Weld Tube Ends available in various standards and sizes
  • Manual and pneumatically operated valve types with different diaphragm sizes
  • Max operating pressure and temperature specifications provided for different diaphragm materials
Recommendations
Ensure consistent use of international standards for tube ends to avoid reductions or steps in the piping system and guarantee self-draining capabilities. Butt-welding is the preferred method for connecting tube ends.

Butt Weld Tube Ends ASCO Numatics offers tube end outside diameter and wall thickness dimensions in accordance to several international standards. These standards and dimensions are listed in the below table. In order to install a proper aseptic process piping system, it is important that the correct and consistent international tube end standards will be followed throughout the aseptic process piping system. If the connecting tube ends are not identical and of the same diameter standard, there may result in a reduction or step in the process piping system or the ability of self draining ends...
