    A diaphragm valve uses a flexible diaphragm instead of a valve disc to open and close flow. When the diaphragm is forced down, it completely closes the valve, and when fully open, the diaphragm does not restrict flow. Diaphragm valves require less maintenance than conventional valves since there is no stem or stem packing in the flow path. They are often used for highly corrosive materials as the diaphragm is usually made of a rubberized compound.

    DIAPHRAGM VALVE
    A diaphragm valve (see figure 13 below) is not like the other valves. It does
    not have a valve disc. The diaphragm valve uses a flexible diaphragm as its
    opening / closing element.

    Figure 13 Diaphragm valve.


    When the diaphragm is forced downward it completely closes the valve.
    When it is completely open the diaphragm is out of the line of flow so it does
    not restrict it. There is no valve stem in the flow path. No stem packing is
    required. These types of valve require less maintenance than the
    conventional valves.
    The diaphragm is usually made of a rubberised compound so these valves
    are often used where highly corrosive materials are present. Figure 14 shows
    the three position of a diaphragm valve.
