Overview: The document provides detailed technical specifications and characteristics of a diaphragm
valve, specifically the art.061 model, which is patent pending. It is designed for use in industries requiring clean and sterile fluid handling, such as biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and food processing.
Specifications: The valve is available in sizes ranging from 1/2” to 1.1/2” and is constructed from AISI316L stainless steel with a PTFE diaphragm. It features a machined body with welded Tri-Clamp connections, available with internal finishes of Ra 0.4 or 0.8. The diaphragm is FDA-approved for food contact.
Hydraulic Characteristics: The valve's hydraulic performance is described by the equation ∆p = k • Qwn, where ∆p is the pressure drop in mbar and Qw is the flow rate in l/s. The document provides specific Kv and Cv values for different diameters and flow conditions, indicating the valve's capacity to handle fluid flow efficiently.
Design Features: The valve includes an internal chute for easy drainage, an inverse taper for tightness, and a PTFE handle for manual control. It can be operated manually or automatically with an actuator. The design minimizes empty volumes and facilitates cleaning, making it suitable for sterile environments.
Quality and Compliance: The valve is autoclavable and laser-identified for traceability, with production series numbers and optional chemical analysis certificates. It complies with BS-OD 4825 codes and EN 10 204.1B standards for material and surface finish.
Applications: The valve is suitable for biotechnology, semiconductor, pharmaceutical, food, and medical industries, offering precise fluid regulation and high-quality construction for demanding applications.
