Model W - Welded Diaphragm Seals
Contains metal diaphragm welded to the upper housing. Bolts can be removed and separated at the flanges for cleaning, liquid filling, calibrating, welding, or other purposes, without the loss of the liquid fill fluid. Available with flushing connection. Threaded off-line, flanged off-line and flow through styles are available in many configurations and materials.

Sanitary Diaphragm Seal Protectors
Designed for food and pharmaceutical industries to ensure that surfaces exposed to process are virtually crack and crevice free.

Model S - Sanitary Seals
All-welded construction which allows removal from system without loss of fill fluid. Construction conforms to methods as described in ASME Standard B20.2-1991, Section 2.3.12. This off-line seal has a diaphragm welded to the upper housing. It is designed to ensure that the surfaces exposed to the process are virtually crack and crevice free. They meet the requirement of the 3-A Sanitary Standard.

Fill Fluids
Fill fluids should be selected by carefully considering their physical properties at the extremes of the ambient and process temperature to which they will be subjected. Fill fluids must also be chemically compatible with the process fluid to avoid potentially hazardous reaction in the event of diaphragm failure. Typically, hydrocarbon based liquids must not be used with strong oxidizers, such as oxygen, chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, or nitric acid. For these special applications, an inert liquid such as Fluorolube or Halocarbon is available. Fill fluids diluted with or containing water will not be supplied by Tel-Tru Manufacturing. The presence of water in filled systems can cause gross inaccuracies.
