Winters' PVC diaphragm seals contain Teflon

A Winters Instruments product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 24, 2009

Winters Instruments' D10 Series diaphragm seals are cost-effective alternatives to stainless-steel or carbon-steel diaphragm seals.

When a customer has a lower pressure application (from vacuum up to and including 200 psi), the D10 Series may be suitable.

With a body made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and a diaphragm made from Teflon, the D10 Series is compatible with many types of process media.

In some cases, such as in chlorine/water media, the Teflon diaphragm of Winters' D10 Series is superior to 316 SS, which can corrode from exposure to chlorine.

The D10 diaphragm seal has a gauge connection of 1/4in female NPT and a choice of 1/4 and 1/2in female NPT process connection.

A diaphragm seal is a device consisting of a diaphragm welded (or firmly clamped) between two suitable flanges and properly gasketed to prevent leakage of liquid or gas.

The diaphragm is a dividing membrane or thin partition that acts as a barrier to a liquid or gas that may clog or corrode the sensing element of a pressure instrument.
