Low Gas Permeability EPDM Diaphragm Replacement Code 14
Application examples
• Water treatment plants, washing and cleaning installations
• Plants for the food and foodstuff industries, the chemical industry and electroplating
• Equipment for the photographic industry, laboratory, analytical and medical apparatus
Description
The GEMÜ code 14 EPDM diaphragm has been developed for use in industrial applications, for example in the chemical industry, environmental engineering and the processing industry.
Technical specifications
| Media temperature | -10 to 90 °C |
| Diaphragm sizes | 10 | 20 | 25 | 40 | 50 | 65 | 80 | 100 | 125 | 150 |
| Diaphragm materials | EPDM |
Product Features:
1. Low gas permeability
2. Suitable for vacuum
3. Ozone and weather resistant
4. Can be used with steam for short periods of time
Important notes:
Due to the setting behaviour of elastomers, the compression of the diaphragm must be checked before commissioning the system and periodically during use and its bolting tightened if necessary (for valves in sterile applications once additionally after the first sterilization cycle). Other regular inspections during operation are recommended depending on the use of the valves.
Attachments and accessories such as seal adjusters, stroke limiters, optical position indicators, electrical position indicators, positioners and process controllers must be recalibrated after changing the diaphragm and / or readjusting the diaphragm (see relevant function description). The setting of manual valves with a seal adjuster must also be readjusted.
The membranes (especially the Elastomers) are subject to natural aging.
To ensure the quality and durability of the membranes during storage influence as little as possible.
The service life can vary depending on the application. Diaphragms are wearing parts and must be checked at regular intervals and replaced if necessary. The maintenance intervals to be provided are very much dependent on the application and cannot be precisely defined in advance. The individual maintenance cycles are usually determined on the basis of empirical values or the maintenance history. If the membranes are subject to particularly high loads, e.g. due to frequent sterilization or high switching cycles, it may be necessary to shorten the maintenance cycles.
Measures for storage of membranes
• Observe the relevant standards (e.g. ISO 2230 – regulations for the storage of elastomers)
• Observe the storage temperature -10 °C to +25 °C (preferably 15 °C).
• Protect from light, especially with a high UV component (sunlight and artificial light).
• Maintain relative humidity below 65%
• Only store membranes in rooms that do not contain any ozone-generating equipment (e.g. electric motors), solvents, fuels or chemicals, etc. Membranes should be protected from strong air changes and draughts. If necessary, store in airtight containers or bags
• Only use foils without plasticisers for packaging
• membranes relaxed, i. H. store without tension, pressure or other deformations
• Do not hang the membranes in the holes
Diaphragms, which are used predominantly in sterile applications
***** Highest mechanical load capacity
Note:
Since plastics and elastomers are subject to natural aging, we recommend observing the GEMÜ storage conditions for shut-off diaphragms. You thereby guarantee maximum storage and service life of the diaphragms.
The temperature values are indicated irrespective of operating pressure and diaphragm size and apply to water and/or inert gases. The permissible operating pressure decreases with rising temperature and nominal size. Only specially designated diaphragms should be used for steam. The permissible operating pressure results from the steam pressure diagram.
