Diaphragm valves are equipment used in various industries to control the flow of liquids and gases. It consists of a valve body with multiple ports, an elastomeric diaphragm, and a seat upon which the diaphragm closes the valve. The valve body is constructed from plastic, metal, wood or other materials depending on the intended use. BS EN 13397 specifies requirements for diaphragm valves with metallic shell materials.
BS EN 13397 on diaphragm valves made of metallic materials is helpful for:
Having access to reliable guidelines is essential to manufacture and use quality diaphragm valves made of metallic materials. BS EN 13397 guidelines provides manufacturers with the requirements, design, materials, pressure/temperature ratings, dimensions, and functional characteristics which allows you to have efficiently functioning diaphragm valves.
BS EN 13397 also provides users with the markings, preparation for storage and transportation guidelines which contributes to industrial safety and security.
