Corrugated metal diaphragms are essential components used in various industrial applications. These diaphragms are made from thin, flexible metal sheets that have been corrugated or shaped into a wave-like pattern. This design enhances their strength and flexibility, allowing them to withstand high pressure and maintain their integrity under different conditions.
The primary function of corrugated metal diaphragms is to act as a barrier or seal in pressure sensing devices, such as pressure gauges, transmitters, and sensors. They can accurately measure pressure changes without being affected by the medium they are measuring. This makes them ideal for use in environments where chemical compatibility and durability are crucial.
Manufacturers typically use materials like stainless steel, Hastelloy, and other corrosion-resistant alloys to produce these diaphragms. The choice of material depends on the specific application and the environmental conditions the diaphragm will face. Proper material selection ensures the diaphragm’s longevity and reliable performance.
