STRAIGHT-THROUGH TYPE 'ST' DIAPHRAGM VALVES
KIM Diaphragm Valves are known for their benefits in corrosion and abrasion resistance, offering features of leak tightness and low cost maintenance in severe service applications. The valves are based on simple operating principles and have recently become more widely used by process engineers as a result of the increased range of diaphragms and body lining materials.
KIM Straight-Through Diaphragm Valves offer an unobstructed flow passage to the service media and are therefore ideally suited for handling viscous fluids, slurries and suspended solids.
The straight-line-flow characteristic ensures a long service life, when handling abrasive materials that require good flow capacity and leak-tight shut-off.
KIM Straight-Through Type Diaphragm Valves manual bonnet assemblies incorporate position indication, and adjustable tamper-proof and over-closure-protection. Over-closure is the most common cause of diaphragm damage, particularly in temperatures over 80° C (175° F). The valves are suitable for internal cleaning by rodding, brushing or pigging.
KIM unique Over-Closure-Protection is a standard feature on the Type 'N' bonnet. It is adjustable in order to compensate for variations in diaphragm and body lining thickness. The feature is tamper-proof to prevent adjustment by unauthorized personnel.
Pneumatically, hydraulically and electrically operated KIM Straight-Through Type Diaphragm Valves are available for the automatic control of process plants. The actuators can be fitted with many forms of positioners, micro and proximity switches and many other options offering the user unique cost effective process control of viscous fluids, slurries and suspended solids.
