Product Details
Description
The Sandpiper® air valve is one of the main components of an air-operated double-diaphragm pump. Sandpiper pumps utilize both internal and external air valve designs and configurations. The materials used in the air valve body may vary in quality, such as brass, aluminum, plastic, or stainless steel. In diaphragm pumps, the air valves are positioned exactly in the center of the pump, between the diaphragms. This minimizes air pathways and dead volumes. Atlas Proses provides its customers with the highest-quality replacement parts compatible with Sandpiper pumps.
Diaphragm pumps operate using compressed air. The valve seats and valve balls function by moving back and forth to pump the fluid. For the proper operation of an air-operated double-diaphragm pump, the valve seats and valve balls are critical components. Valve balls and valve seats in air-operated double-diaphragm pumps are used in many industries, including aerospace, environmental, energy, automotive, construction, chemical, ceramics, cosmetics, food and beverage, oil and gas, packaging, steel and metal, and pharmaceuticals.
As an important part of the general maintenance program, the diaphragms should be replaced at regular intervals according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. A double-diaphragm pump uses two flexible diaphragms connected by a shaft that moves back and forth; it is also known as a positive displacement pump. The diaphragms function to separate the air on one side from the fluid on the other.
