Flushing Ring Selection Guide for Diaphragm Seals
Flushing rings are installed between process connections and diaphragm seals to provide access for cleaning, draining, venting and calibration. This guide helps buyers define the details needed for quotation.
Why flushing rings are used
Flushing rings help maintain diaphragm seal installations in dirty, viscous, crystallizing, corrosive or slurry-like services. Ports can be used for flushing, draining, venting and calibration access.
- Cleaning around diaphragm seals
- Drain and vent access for pressure instruments
- Calibration and maintenance support
- Service support for viscous and slurry lines
RFQ details to include
Share flange size, pressure class, facing, material, port size, number of ports, port orientation, plug or valve requirement, gasket details and quantity.
Material and port orientation
Material should match process compatibility, while port orientation should suit field access. Single and dual-port arrangements should be selected based on how flushing and draining will actually be performed.
