Composite Diaphragm Valves
AquaMatic K53 Series Composite Diaphragm Valve
AquaMatic K53 Series Composite Diaphragm Valves with glass-filled thermoplastic body and cap are intended for corrosive applications including deionized water, acids, and harsh caustic chemicals that would rapidly corrode metal valves. Their unique Y-pattern design with a large seat opening and high lift disc permits higher flow rates at lower pressure loss than other comparable valves. This product is manufactured in the United States of foreign and domestic parts.
 
 
Typical Applications
Chemical Injection
Deionizers
Desalinization
Detergent and Bleach Handling
Electronic Industry
Evaporation
Fertilizer Spray Equipment
Level Control Systems
Metal Recovery Systems
Mining Wastes
Process Water Systems
Water Treatment Systems
Features and Benefits
All components can be serviced while the valve is inline
Separate flow and control chambers permit positive closing without springs; and only nominal cost for spring assist opening for low-pressure and self-draining applications
Reinforced diaphragms are pre-formed and stress relieved to maximize responsiveness and product life
Diaphragm acts as an actuator, eliminating the need for electric or pneumatic actuators
All internal parts in contact with media are made of composite materials *
Seals are ethylene propylene for better chemical resistance **
Two dynamic o-rings on the shaft, with a vent in between the o-rings, to prevent damage to the diaphragm
Female socket weld connectors for easy installation and the ability to remove the valve without disrupting the service piping
Valve bodies provided with molded pads that can be used to support the piping manifold
Cap held by a retaining ring, eliminating screws and nuts
No external metal parts to corrode in aggressive atmosphere
Available in sizes from 1 to 3 inch
Avariety of end connectors are available to make the valve compatible in pipe sizes from 3/4 to 3 inch
Adaptable to a wide variety of control devices
Can be actuated with either air or water as control fluid
* Normally closed valve configurations are NOT recommended when used with corrosive fluids.
** Valves are NOT recommended for use with any aromatic, hydrocarbon-based media.

* Cv is the flowrate in gallons per minute of water at 60°F at 1 psi pressure drop. (Kv is the flowrate in cubic meters per hour of water at 15.5°C at 1 bar pressure drop.)
** The “A” dimension is the distance between face to face seal surfaces.
