DIRECT COUPLED DIAPHRAGM SEAL
Forged‑Body Seal for Pulp, Slurry & Corrosive‑Media Isolation
Overview
The DIRECT COUPLED DIAPHRAGM SEAL from AIMS Control safeguards gauges, transmitters, and switches when direct media contact would clog, corrode, or foul a sensing element. A single‑piece forged chamber and laser‑welded diaphragm form a hermetic barrier, allowing accurate pressure transmission while keeping aggressive fluids or solids at bay. Available in AISI 316L, Monel, Hastelloy C, and other exotic alloys—this seal is the ideal choice for chemical reactors, pulp‑and‑paper slurries, and offshore process skids.
Key Features & Benefits
- Rigid Forged Construction
Eliminates weld‑seam fatigue common in fabricated bodies; rated for full vacuum to 0 … 400 bar.
- Laser‑Welded Metallic Diaphragm
Provides uniform thickness and leak‑free performance, even after millions of flex cycles.
Choose AISI 316L SS for general service or upgrade to Monel / Hastelloy C for acids, chlorides, and sour gas.
- Direct or Remote Assembly
Bolt the seal directly to the instrument or use a remote capillary to decouple temperature effects and vibration.
- High‑Performance Fill Fluid
Standard Silicone DC‑200 (-40 … 205 °C) ensures rapid, linear pressure transfer; other fills (HT, food‑grade) on request.
- Optional Wetted‑Surface Protection
PTFE, PFA, or glass‑lined coatings available for sticky, polymerizing, or ultra‑corrosive media.
Why Choose This Diaphragm Seal?
- Leak‑Proof Integrity – Laser‑welded diaphragm + forged body eliminates crevices where media can creep.
- Custom Alloy Flexibility – Tailor wetted parts to resist pH 0–14, high‑chloride brines, or H₂S‑laden fluids.
- Fast, Linear Response – Low‑viscosity silicone fill ensures accurate gauge or transmitter output.
- Backed by pressure gauge manufactures in Gujrat India – Local fabrication, quick alloy changeovers, and same‑day calibration services.
Typical Applications
- Chlor‑alkali and caustic soda production lines
- Viscous slurry handling in pulp & paper mills
- Offshore wellhead chemical injection loops
- High‑purity acids in semiconductor fabs
- Hygienic / CIP lines in pharma & biotech (with FDA‑grade fill)
- Molten‑sulfur or asphalt transfer skids
