Weir Type

Kim Valves offer a wide variety of premium quality weir type diaphragm valves. They provide a wide variety of body materials and linings to suit various applications ranging from concentrated acids to pure water processes. The WT diaphragm valve is moulded in a 'normally open' position to ensure maximum flow when the valve is opened 100%. Weir type diaphragm valves are capable of handling higher temperature/corrosive services due to the use of PTFE diaphragm. These diaphragms are backed up with a reinforced elastomer to withstand high temperature, corrosive and sterile applications. Unique to these diaphragms is a bayonet connection as opposed to a screwed stud connection found on the rubber diaphragms. The bayonet ensures the diaphragm seats evenly across the weir every time the valve is closed to ensure positive shut off.
