Ashcroft Diaphragm Seals

 

Type 100
Capsule Diaphragm

The comprehensive line of Ashcroft®
diaphragm seals will meet a wide variety
of application or installation requirements.
Over 30,000 variations are possible with
the types, connections and materials
available.
• The top housing and diaphragm
capsule are interchangeable with all
Ashcroft bottom housings.
• A fill/bleed connection is standard, which
permits filling the seal and instrument
simultaneously after evacuation and allows
the fill to flow into the completed unit.
• A Viton O-ring, compatible with all standard fill fluids, and a Teflon back-up ring provide a seal between the diaphragm
capsule and the top housing.
• A thin Teflon PTFE gasket between the
diaphragm and bottom housing assures a
leak-tight corrosion resistant seal even at
high pressure.
• Top housing and pressure instrument
are removable.
• Continuous-duty design will prevent loss
of process fluid if pressure instrument is
removed or fails

Type 200
Welded or Bonded Diaphragm

Type 200 Welded
• Teflon gasketed, continuous-duty
diaphragm capsule is welded to the top
housing, which is then clamped to a
bottom housing.
• Fill/bleed connection is standard.
• Top housing and pressure instrument
are removable.
• Available in same process connections,
materials, types and sizes as the Type 100
capsule design.
• Top housing is interchangeable with all
standard Ashcroft® bottom housings.

Type 200 Bonded Viton, Kalrez & Teflon
Similar in construction, materials, and product features to the Type 300 clamped diaphragm seal on page 142, the diaphragm in the Type 200 seal is bonded permanently to the top ­housing – and is the removable type.

Type 300
Clamped Diaphragm

• Broad selection of materials for meeting various service applications, including Teflon, Viton and Kalrez diaphragms.
• Elastomeric diaphragm is clamped securely between the top and bottom housings by clamp rings, assuring positive seal.
• Top housing is contoured to match diaphragm, minimizing distortion of the diaphragm should the pressure instrument be removed.
• Continuous duty.
• Fill/bleed connection is standard.
• Top housing and diaphragm are nonremovable.
• Teflon, Viton and Kalrez diaphragms available in threaded and flanged inlet connections.

pharmaceutical, dairy, food processing,
biotechnology, and filtration markets. Also
included are breweries, ­distilleries, wineries
and citrus juice production plants.
Standard features include:
• 316L stainless steel diaphragm
welded to a 316L stainless steel top housing.
• Fill/bleed connection
• Top housing and pressure instrument removable from process.
• Compatible with Tri-Clover and
Cherry Burrell S line connections

Types 80/81/85/86
Iso-Ring, Iso Spool

With the Ashcroft® Isolation Ring, the instrument is in contact with the fill fluid, not directly
with the process flow. Clogging or fouling is never a problem. The Iso-Ring has a flexible
inner cylinder, behind which is the fill fluid. As process liquid flows through the pipe, it exerts
pressure. The pressure exerted by the fill fluid is then monitored by the instrument-sensing
element. A 360-degree flexible cylinder means no plugging, assuring reliable and accurate
pressure readings. A built-in threaded needle valve is provided as standard. This permits
the removal of a pressure instrument for calibration, repair, or replacement without shutting
down the process flow.
Adaptable to a variety of process conditions and applications, the Ashcroft Iso-Ring can be
used for protection of instrumentation such as pressure gauges, switches, transmitters,
recorders and transducers. The Iso-Ring fits between customer-­supplied piping flanges like
many butterfly valves, and is available for piping diameters from 2˝ to 20˝. It can be used
at any pressure within the limitations of ASME classes 150 and 300, and even in most vacuum
applications.
Ashcroft® Type 85 and 86 Iso-Spools are used for small-diameter piping. Designed to provide
a large sensing area in the smaller pipe diameters from 1˝ to 2˝, the patented Iso-Spool is
offered in either NPT threaded or flanged models. Type 86 is available with flat or raised-face
flanges.
