Saunders Diaphragm Materials
Saunders Rubber diaphragms are made from polymer materials which is bonded
with a high strength woven reinforcement to ensure maximum strengh and durability.
Some key features are:
Constructed with multi layers of rubber and nylon reinforcement
Rubber diaphragms have a brass stud.
Diaphragms are suitable for vacuum duty eg: CV have a steel stud which are attached with bonding adhesive and mechanical anchorage.
Diaphragms have a rib on face for weir flange and across weir for leak tight sealing and lower closure torque.
Compressor support in both the open and closed positions for extended life.
PTFE diaphragms have a two peice construction with PTFE face with rubber backing
diaphragm to increase pressure rating and durabilty .
These diaphragms have a stainless steel bayonet fitting to ensure reliable installation,
reduced poiont loading and ensure maximum life.
The 214K is a 3 peice diaphragm specially reinforced for chlorine service.
Saunders Diaphragms are provided with:
Coding tag fo both material and batch number for easy identifcation
Saunders name to confirm genuine manufacture and reliabilty
Full traceability of manufacture to EN10204 31.b (was DIN 50049 31.b)
available upon request.
