Space

• Diaphragm valves are space efficient. They need little pipe space compared with other valves, which sometimes have to extend further on either side of the pipe to make enough room for their components. Diaphragm valves can be made with low height or width specifications depending on the purpose, and need only a wheel mechanism (possibly automated) to open or close.

Corrosion Resistance

• Because the primary components of the diaphragm valve are made from thermoplastic materials, the valve is much more corrosion resistant that valves that depend on metal parts. This both makes the valve less expensive than models that must use costly resistant coating and better able to deal with highly acidic fluids.

Adaptability

• Diaphragm valves can be used with a number of piping materials, including lined, metal FRP and thermoplastic pipes. They can also be used in high-pressure situations and operate in a wide temperature range, making them ideal for a variety of applications. This allows manufacturers to market the valves to many industries and improves their overall usefulness.

Maintenance

• Diaphragm valves offer ease of maintenance. When diaphragm valves wear down or break, the diaphragm itself cracks and allows fluid to escape into the pipe. To fix the valve, users replace the diaphragm. While this may be costly if the valve wears down quickly, it is a simple maintenance step that immediately restores performance.
