Sanitary diaphragm valves are our focus here at MarcWorks. Choose from diverting valves, bypass valves, backpressure regulators, 2-way & 3-way valves, mixing valves, and much more. We offer our own pioneered ultra-high purity bellows gas diaphragm biotech valve used in the biopharmaceutical industry.
Our company can be summed up in one word – valves. PR Valves, LLC is a stocking distributor for all of your diaphragm valves that you have been seeking. We carry many name brand hard-to-find rare diaphragm valves in cast steel materials and in strainers - duplex and
simplex styles.
A weir valve is a type of diaphragm valve in which the flow passage include
a weir, or a notch with a horizontal edge through which a substance flows.
In the open position, the diaphragm lifts up and allows a substance to flow
freely through the valve. Once in the closed position, the diaphragm closes
down on the weir, shutting off flow partially or completely. A weir valve provides
a higher rate of flow than many other types of diaphragm valves, and may be
chosen for applications in which this higher flow is desirable.
The weir valve can leave some opportunity for fluid to become entrapped in
the valve. The diaphragm in a weir valve is designed to seal on a sealing bead
outside the weir area. In the open position, the diaphragm lifts up and exposes
the valve body along the perimeter of the bowl. As the valve closes, the diaphragm
closes back toward the body of the valve, allowing small amounts of fluid to
become trapped.
Weir valves may be operated manually, or they may be pneumatic or motorized.
They can be constructed from several materials, including cast iron, cast steel,
brass or plastics. Depending on the material from which they are constructed,
they may be used to control the flow of materials at various pressures and
temperatures. Weir valves may have different body configurations. A straight-through
body has one entrance port and one exit port. A t-valve body style allows flow
to enter or exit from two ports, and multi-port weir valves allow flow to enter
or exit the valve from three or more ports.
