Diaphragm valves designed for safe chamical use
Boiswood are now supplying the Furon UPM 1000 range of diaphragm valves, which have been designed for the safe transfer of highly aggressive ultra-pure chemicals.
The RHP range has also been awarded a 3A Certificate.
The unique design of the range provides optimum conduit continuity with no dead volume and excellent high-pressure performance (650 bar under helium pressure and 1900 bar under oil pressure) with no loss of integrity, even after multiple assembly/disassembly.
Axial tightening eliminates tube torque and metal friction during assembly and assembly itself is made easier with the elimination of gaskets and male/female end fittings.
Accurate gland alignment is achieved using a centering ring.
Flowmeca RHP fittings are manufactured from 316L stainless steel.
A wide range is available to suit most applications at operating temperatures up to +550C.
