Teflon diaphragm seals offer advantages over alternatives

Paul Boughton
Winters D10 series diaphragm seals are described as cost-effective alternatives to more expensive stainless steel or carbon steel diaphragm seals for lower-pressure applications (from vacuum up to and including 200psi) where a barrier is required to prevent a liquid or gas clogging or corroding the sensing element of a pressure instrument.
 
With a body made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and a diaphragm made from Teflon, the D10 series seals are compatible with many different types of process media. In some cases, such as in chlorine/water, the Teflon diaphragm of Winters' D10 series is even said to be superior to 316 stainless steel, which can corrode from exposure to chlorine. The D10 diaphragm seal has a gauge connection of 1/4inch female NPT and a choice of 1/4inch and 1/2inch female NPT process connections.
