Series 42/742 Diaphragm Seal

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and operational details for Red Valve's Series 42 Pressure Sensor and Series 742 Diaphragm Seal. These components are designed to isolate and provide accurate readings for gauges, transmitters, and pressure switches, particularly in chemical or slurry services.
Specifications:
  • Available sizes: 1/2" to 2".
  • Working pressure: 720 psi for standard units, 200 psi for PVC units.
  • Materials: Carbon Steel, 316 Stainless Steel, or PVC for body and cases; various elastomers for sleeves including Pure Gum Rubber, Neoprene, and Viton®.
  • Fill fluids: Ethylene Glycol & Water (200°F), Vegetable Oil (230°F), Silicone Oil (400°F).
Features:
  • Can be mounted in any flow direction with standard NPT threaded ends.
  • Unique design allows for flushing or rodding clean without removal from the line, reducing maintenance and operational costs.
  • Protects and isolates instrumentation from chemical or slurry plugging.
Advantages:
  • Lower installation and operating costs due to easy maintenance.
  • Accurate and consistent pressure readings due to the 360° elastomer sleeve design.
Figures:
  • Figure 1 illustrates the flushing capability of the diaphragm seal without removal from the line.

Series 42/742 Diaphragm Seal-1

Series 42/742 Diaphragm Seal Ǡ Series 742 can be flushed or rodded clean without removal from line or disassembly Red Valve's Series 42 Pressure Sensor and Series 742 Diaphragm Seal isolate and provide accurate instrument reading of gauges, transmitters, and pressure switches, making them ideal for use in chemical or slurry service. The Series 42 and Series 742 can be mounted in any flow direction, and have threaded ends manufactured to standard NPT pipetap dimensions for smaller pipelines. The principle of operation is simple. As process pressure is sensed by the 360° elastomer sleeve, the captive fluid transfers the process pressure to the instrument, providing a consistent, accurate reading. Ǡ Protects and isolates instrumentation from chemical or slurry plugging Ǡ Lower installation and operating costs The Series 742 offers a significant advantage over traditional diaphragm seals. When installed perpendicular to the pipeline, the Series 742 can be isolated so that in the event of plugging, the elastomer slurry ring area, which isolates the instrument, can be flushed (Figure 1) or rodded clean (Figure 2). Materials of Construction Ǡ Body (Non-Wetted) and Upper and Lower Case (Wetted) - Carbon Steel, 316 Stainless Steel, or PVC The Only Diaphragm Seal That Can Be Flushed Without Removal From The Line Ǡ Sleeves Available in Pure Gum Rubber, Neoprene, Hypalon®, Chlorobutyl, Buna-N, Viton®, EPDM, Food Grade Elastomers, Teflon ® coated Buna-N, or Teflon® coated Viton® Ǡ Fill Fluid; Ethylene Glycol & Water (200° F), Vegetable Oil (230° F), Silicone Oil (400° F) Series 42 Pressure Sensors and Series 742 Diaphragm Seals are available in sizes 1/2" through 2". The Series 42 features a top-mounted gauge, while the Series 742 is supplied with a standard back mounted gauge.
