Talk:Diaphragm valve

Various suggestions (up to 2011)
This article does not tell people what a diaphragm valve is and i don't think this article is up to wikipedia standards. I don't know what a diaphragm valve is and its uses so i can't really improve this section or get any pictures.(Sam giles2001 12:32, 6 January 2007 (UTC))

I can provide an external link to a commercial website with pictures of diaphragm valves if you agree? --Ccknowles 13:35, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Some references are also required.--Ccknowles 10:05, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

There does not seem to be any active editors to this article, so I will do some edits and add some internal and external links if there are no objections? --Ccknowles 14:28, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Standards and approvals are my thing for the plastic piping industry so I will added some detail over the coming weeks.--Pipeup 18:02, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Have reverted the page back to how it was before some spammers got involved, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of discussion or meaningful additional edits with this article. If you understand the subject matter please can you think what you can add plus it needs more references. --Ccknowles 17:06, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I consider "three way zero deadleg valve" and "point of use zero deadleg", and also "GMP valve" and "sterile access port" to be so similar and more of manufacturer specific terms that it causes more confusion to list it than useful information, therefore I have deleted these alternatives. Valbow is also a manufacturer specific term, but it can stay. I have also re-entered the information around dual actuators, which I consider as an important variety of these valve even though it represents a small range of applications. Can anyone add some principle pictures of the various types, I think that would be the key for good understanding. Svanterusck 21:04, 5 April

I have added many links to help wikify the page. The description is still unclear and I am still not able to understand what a diaphragm valve is - pictures are need. Cleverbeans (talk) 16:03, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree with the above-mentioned: The description is unclear and I am not able to understand what a diaphragm valve is. Pictures are needed. 93.176.67.66 (talk) 13:55, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Since english is not my native language I can not be certain of the technical definition, but my impression is that a diaphragm valve is the same type of valve described in solenoid valve. 193.45.212.118 (talk) 08:04, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Illustration unclear (cross section)


The illustration lacks a cross-section edge on either side (across the entry and exit ports). As such it can be misinterpreted as two different, strange illustrations instead of a single cross sectional diagram.
