A Cepex UPVC diaphragm valves are a type of industrial valve used for precise flow regulation in corrosive or high-purity fluid applications. Manufactured under Cepex's "Extreme Series," they are designed for reliability and chemical resistance.
Key features
- Materials: The valve body is constructed from PVC-U (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride), with membranes typically available in EPDM or FPM (Viton®). The right material choice depends on the specific chemical and temperature requirements of the system.
- Performance: The valves are engineered for:
- Precise flow regulation: Allowing fine control over the fluid's volume and speed.
- Minimal pressure loss: Ensuring efficient fluid transfer with little pressure drop.
- Corrosion resistance: The PVC-U body offers excellent resistance to a wide range of inorganic chemicals.
- Operating specifications:
- Sizes: Available in a range of sizes, including D20 (DN15) to D63 (DN50).
- Pressure rating: Nominal pressure rating is PN10 at 20°C (73°F).
- Configurations: Cepex offers several connection options to fit various piping systems:
- Female solvent socket (socket fusion)
- Female threaded ends (BSP, NPT)
- Flanged ends
- Butt welding ends (for PE100)
- Actuation: While manual options are standard, Cepex also produces automated versions with electric or pneumatic actuators.
- Quality assurance: Cepex valves undergo a 100% water pressure test at the factory to ensure reliability and are certified with the CE mark.
Common applications
Cepex UPVC diaphragm valves are commonly used in a variety of industries and applications, including:
- Water treatment and sewage plants
- Chemical processing
- Pharmaceutical and food manufacturing
- Laboratories and biological systems
