Parker's Life Science Diaphragm accommodates volume changes inside enclosures by simply unfolding its patterned corrugations. This enables the elastomer to experience minimal stretch during volume expansion, greatly reducing the potential for failures due to overstress. In one typical example, strain in the elastomer was significantly reduced versus the previous expansion-type diaphragm.
Benefits:
• Optimized seal loads to prevent premature failure
• Optimized elastomer usage to reduce waste and part cost
• Predictable deformation during system cycling
