Tri-Ark Launches New Range Of Pump Diaphragms

23.02.2001

A new range of low cost diaphragms for air-operated double diaphragm pumps has been announced by Tri-Ark Ltd, a leading independent supplier of air-operated double-diaphragm pumps and components to UK industry.

With over 35 years experience in the pumping and chemical industry, Tri-Ark has been able to specify precisely the material used to give optimum performance. The new diaphragms are manufactured from a specially modified PTFE material.

This particular formulation shows excellent resistance to aggressive fluids and has a wide operating temperature range. The static and dynamic friction coefficient are numerically equal, preventing "stick slip".

Modified PTFE offers a number of benefits compared to normal (homopolymer) PTFE, and in particular for diaphragm applications, has good deflection characteristics. This gives excellent durability and reliability in use and allows higher flow rates to be accommodated.

Pumps for which the Tri-Ark diaphragms are currently available are 1" and 2" SandPIPER¨ pumps from Warren-Rupp and 1.5" and 2" air-operated double-diaphragm pumps from Wilden¨.

Chlorine Gas Systems: New Electric Safety Valve Makes the System Safer

13.12.2024 -

Chlorine gas plays a key role in the disinfection of drinking and industrial water. However, handling the chemical can pose considerable health risks – from irritation of the eyes to fatal pulmonary oedema. To further improve occupational safety during use, Lutz-Jesco has developed the VakuStop – a vacuum regulator for dosing systems that is equipped with an emergency stop function to prevent uncontrolled chlorine gas leaks directly at the chlorine gas tank in the event of an emergency.
