KTM Diaphragm Valve’s Unique
Functions and Advantages
A diaphragm valve is a
combination of “pinch valve”
and “sluice valve”. Kitamura
has been producing diaphragm
valves since 1948. Through a
number of modifications and
improvements with respect to
the design and material, the
present superior quality of our
products has been in high
repute among many customers.
There are several features
unique to our diaphragm valves,
not to other valves. This
catalogue shows their functions
and quality of KTM Diaphragm
Valve. You can consult this
document to find the
advantages of our products and
determine whether they can
meet your operating
requirements.

 1. Indicator
A plastic-made indicator on the
top of the stem tells you three
valve positions: fully opened, half
opened and fully closed.
2. Thrust bearing
To ensure smooth rotation, the
stem has a thrust bearing at its
rubbing part.
Closing Capability
Higher Sealing Performance
A diaphragm valve uses a resilient
membrane to shut down the flow
passage, so that a smaller
pressing force can be used for
obtaining the required sealing
performance. Diaphragm valves
can be used also in a vacuum
piping system. In this case, the
operating pressure required
depends on the pipe diameter. For
details, consult us.
Special Fluids
The diaphragm valves are
available for various types of
special fluids such as viscous
fluid, slurry, fiber-contained fluid,
and their mixture with other liquid.
For sluice valves and globe, fluids
containing solid matters may
damage the seat contact surface,
which requires additional
maintenance and service.
However, diaphragm valves can
perform properly even in the
piping conveying such fluids.
Safet y Advantages

(see Page 9).

(1) “Tube nut” that ensures

complete closure D e pr e s s e d pa r t
As the compressor descends, the
diaphragm valve is pressed
against the wear part of the body,
and the cushion rubber is B l i n d-l i k e w o v e n f a br i c c l ot h
depressed. If the diaphragm
mounting screws were fixed to the
compressor, the screws would be
subjected to so large compressive
loads that the Teflon-made
diaphragm cannot absorb the
cushion rubber deformation, which
results in the damage of the
screw’s tip part. The “tube nut” can
move the deformation upward so
that the diaphragm can be pressed
uniformly against the wear part of
the body.

Diaphragm valves are available for various applications including the typical use shown below.

• Rayon plant : Acid and alkali lines for flushing and bleaching processes
• Chemical plant : Inorganic acid lines e.g. sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and
nitric acid; refinery process lines for esters, similar to those
for organisms
• Caustic soda plant : Caustic soda production line
• Oil and fat plant : Refinery process lines for oils and fats
• Sugar manufacturing : Various processes (cleaning, penetration, processing with
plant carbon dioxide, filtering)
• Gas production : Handling gases containing scales
• Paper manufacturing : Pulp liquid, caustic soda, bleaching agent, and water
plant supply/drain piping
• Cement plant: : Slurry e.g. cement liquid
• Mining site: : Muddy lime, mud water, and water supply/drain piping
• Others: : W ater demineralizer, soap manufacturing process,
fermentation/distillation process, food manufacturing process,
water treatment plant, sewage treatment plant, photographic
industry, tap water and drainage systems

Diaphragm valves can be made of various materials. The same fluid of different concentration,
temperature and/or other properties may require the valve to be made of different material.
Appropriate material should be selected for each application.
