Diaphragms

Rubber diaphragms are flexible membranes made from rubber materials that can flex and move in response to pressure variations, thus enabling the transfer of force or fluid between two separate compartments while maintaining their separation.

Here are some common applications of Diaphragms:

  • They are commonly used in various industrial applications where the conversion of mechanical or hydraulic energy is required.
  • The industrial applications of rubber diaphragms are diverse and include: Pressure Regulators, Pumps, Valves, Actuators and in Automotive applications : fuel pumps, carburetors, and EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valves
  • Materials commonly used for rubber diaphragms include:

  • Natural Rubber NR, Synthetic Rubber e.g., Neoprene, Nitrile, EPDM or Silicone Rubber, fluoroelastomers e.g., Viton
  • The choice of material depends on the specific requirements of the application, including factors such as temperature range, chemical compatibility, pressure resistance, and overall performance expectations.
