Working with our Customers and Suppliers to develop technologically advanced, cost effective solutions to Customer problems through our closed-loop design process.
Starting with customer requirements, we learn and understand our customer’s most challenging needs so we can provide the optimum solutions and products to fit the bill.
We translate these needs into the design of the diaphragm, from material selection to diaphragm geometry – we custom engineer each product to industry leading standards to ensure reliability and performance in application.
Working together with our customers to validate designs in application ensures that all customer criteria are met and fully satisfied, closing the design loop.
RPP material specialists work closely with our synthetic rubber compounders to develop custom materials to meet specific customer needs. The elastomer layer must be extremely thin (for maximum flexibility), very tough (to withstand repeated flexing over a long lifetime), able to handle anticipated operating temperatures, and resistant to medial such as chemicals, fluids or gases it may be contacting.
A number of standard elastomers are available, one of which usually meets the application requirements. Take a look at our resources page for a listing of available Elastomers.
RPP has developed over 20 unique varieties of fabric designed to meet specific operating conditions. The fabric used in molded diaphragms employs a specially developed weave pattern with a unique property. In one direction, it stretches easily, allowing for the radial flexing of the diaphragm convolution. In the other (axial) direction, it provides high resistance to elongation and furnishes the tensile strength that enables the seal to withstand high differential pressures and transmit force to the piston head.
A variety of diaphragm fabrics, woven specially for RPP, are available. Take a look at our resources page for a listing of available Fabrics.
Having trouble finding replacement diaphragms for your older valve or pump because the company has gone out of business? RPP can help.
By reverse engineering your diaphragms, RPP can provide a product that in most cases will be better than the original. Our engineering staff can work together with you to determine the materials, style, and capabilities for your diaphragm needs.
