Diaphragm seals for hazardous areas

Thursday, 18 March, 2004 | Supplied by: http://www.wika.com.au/


The PTFE lining for Wika diaphragm seals can be used in hazardous applications. Due to its high resistance to chemicals and its good anti-adhesive properties, PTFE (polytetrafluorethylene) is often used in process instrumentation and in pressure measurement instrumentation in particular. As a rule, PTFE is used as lining material for diaphragm seals in this process.

The bonding method Wika developed for diaphragm seals (the so-called plastic bonding) has succeeded in increasing the permanent temperature to +260° and in considerably reducing the surface resistance of the PTFE diaphragm, due to the use of a sophisticated conductive compound. As a result, pressure and differential pressure transmitters with PTFE-lined Wika diaphragm seals can now be used in hazardous areas too.
