Operating Principle

How a Diaphragm Valve Works

A flexible diaphragm isolates the operating mechanism from the process fluid. Its vertical movement opens or seals the flow path against the valve weir, supporting hygienic shut-off with very few product-wetted components.

Actuator / Handle Diaphragm Process Flow
Process isolated from actuator Simple product-wetted geometry
01

Open position

The diaphragm lifts away from the weir, allowing product to pass through the valve body.

02

Closed position

The diaphragm presses against the weir to provide hygienic shut-off without a stem entering the process zone.

03

Actuation

Operation may be manual by handle or automatic through a pneumatic actuator, depending on the process requirement.

Principal Options

Common Valve Configurations

The final configuration is selected according to flow direction, installation point, operating method and hygienic duty.

Two-Way Valve

Straight-through configuration for hygienic shut-off in process and utility lines.

In-line duty

T-Valve

Compact branch-point design used where controlled diversion or low dead-leg geometry is required.

Branch connection

Tank Outlet Valve

Installed at the tank bottom or wall to support drainability and hygienic product transfer.

Tank integration

Manual or Pneumatic

Manual handles suit local operation; pneumatic actuators support repeatable automated valve control.

Flexible actuation
Selection note: Exact body geometry, size, connections, diaphragm material and actuator type must be confirmed from the installed valve data before ordering OEM components.

Construction

Body and Diaphragm Materials

Material selection depends on process media, temperature, pressure, cleaning regime and required hygienic compliance. The installed valve specification must always be verified before ordering replacement diaphragms or service parts.

Hygienic Stainless-Steel Valve Body

Product-wetted metal surfaces are designed for cleanability, corrosion resistance and reliable use in hygienic process systems.

316L Typical hygienic grade
Welded or hygienic connections Low-retention body geometries CIP/SIP process compatibility Multiple body configurations
EPDM

EPDM Diaphragm

Commonly selected for hygienic water-based processes and suitable cleaning conditions.

Verify grade and temperature range
PTFE

PTFE Diaphragm

Chosen where higher chemical resistance or demanding high-purity service is required.

Confirm backing and construction
TFM

Modified PTFE Options

Special fluoropolymer constructions may provide improved flexibility and service performance.

Match exact OEM specification
OEM

Exact Identification Is Essential

Size, body type, actuator, diaphragm design and material code must match the installed valve.

Use part number or valve data

Hygienic Process Use

Typical Applications

Diaphragm valves are used where product isolation, cleanability and separation of the actuator from the process zone are important.

Pharmaceutical & Biotech

High-purity process lines, media preparation, purified water and controlled transfer duties.

Food & Dairy

Hygienic product handling, ingredient dosing and process isolation in sanitary systems.

High-Purity Water

Distribution loops, generation skids and utility points where controlled hygienic shut-off is needed.

Personal Care & Cosmetics

Clean transfer and shut-off for sensitive formulations, purified utilities and batch systems.

Before requesting a quotation: provide the valve type, nominal size, body configuration, connection standard, actuator or handle version, diaphragm material and every visible OEM part number. The next sections organize the available part numbers for faster identification.

OEM reference tables

Service Tools & Legacy Diaphragm Valve References

A concise reference for the service-tool part numbers listed in the Alfa Laval diaphragm-valve catalog. Legacy tools must be matched to the exact valve family, size and actuator version before ordering.

Important: the Unique DV-P UltraPure and Radial Diaphragm Valve UltraPure families shown below are catalogued as no longer manufactured. The OEM numbers remain useful for identification and maintenance enquiries.

Unique DV-P UltraPure — Service Tools

Legacy product family
Tool Applicable catalog sizes OEM Part No. Catalog status

The catalog illustrates both tools but does not print an orderable OEM part number in the corresponding parts table. Drawing references such as 2509-0073, 2509-0058 and TD900-641/1 are illustration/document references and are therefore not presented as spare-part numbers.

Include valve, actuator, diaphragm and tool markings plus clear nameplate photos.

Ordering note: do not use drawing numbers as OEM spare-part numbers. For obsolete valves, compatibility and availability should be confirmed against the installed valve data before purchase.
Technical support

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for identifying, selecting and ordering sanitary diaphragm valves, actuators, diaphragms, handles and related OEM spare parts.

What information is required to identify the correct OEM part number?

Provide the complete valve family, nominal size, body configuration, connection standard, actuator or handle type, diaphragm material and every visible number. Clear photos of the valve, actuator and nameplate are strongly recommended.

Can a diaphragm be selected only by valve size?

No. The diaphragm must also match the fixation style and material, such as EPDM Button, EPDM Thread, PTFE/EPDM Bayonet or TFM/EPDM. DN10 and DN32 valves require extra attention because the actual diaphragm size may depend on the valve-body standard.

What do NC, NO and A/A mean for pneumatic actuators?

NC means normally closed, NO means normally open, and A/A means air-to-air or double acting. The actuator function must match the installed process and fail-safe requirement.

Are Unique DV-P UltraPure and Radial UltraPure parts still available?

These product families are listed in the catalog as no longer manufactured. Some service parts or tools may still be identifiable, but availability and compatibility must be checked individually against the installed equipment.

Can the same part number be used for every body configuration?

No. Two-way forged, two-way cast, T-valve, tank outlet and block-valve configurations can require different nut, washer, screw and actuator references. Always match the complete valve configuration before ordering.

Does LGN supply complete valves as well as spare parts?

Yes. LGN can assist with complete sanitary diaphragm valves, pneumatic actuators, manual handles, diaphragms, compressor kits, fastening sets and technical identification for hygienic and aseptic processing applications.

Need an exact diaphragm valve or OEM spare-part match?

Send us your valve details, required quantity and clear equipment photos. Our team will review the available data and help identify the correct configuration and part number for your RFQ.
