TOP-FLO^® diaphragm valves, because of their unique design, reliability, versatility, and ease of maintenance have been the ideal choice for high purity process piping applications. We combine world-class industry experience with engineering and manufacturing facilities located in the USA and Canada. Our R&D, engineering, and manufacturing groups are committed to providing high-quality valves that are unsurpassed by any of our competitors.

Steel & O’Brien competes with the major suppliers in the industry in North and South America for weir-type diaphragm valves.

The forged body has always been the optimum choice for applications within the bioprocessing and pharmaceutical industries. BIOPRO^® & regular forged body diaphragm valves will be the valves of choice when high purity mechanical and electropolished surface finishes are required. 100% BPE Compliant with full material traceability.

Features:

BIOPRO^® forged bodies are manufactured from ASTM A182 GR F316L material with additional controls in regards to chemical content. The sulfur content is maintained to meet and exceed the stringent requirements of BPE. All forgings are solution annealed to maintain the ferrite content to be .05% or less. This low ferrite content eliminates the concern for contaminants and migration of oxides throughout the system. Machining of the contours is performed by using state of the art cad/cam system assuring repeatability of the weir and valve cavity profiles for full drainability. Each forging contains two hash marks clearly indicating the drain angle plane for ease of installation. BIOPRO^® forged bodies are in compliance with FDA guidelines as well as cGMP principles and are specifically designed for use in ultra-pure applications where sterility is critical. Steel & O’Brien provides these bodies with heat numbers etched into them for full traceability. Mill test summaries are provided with each shipment. BIOPRO^® forged diaphragm valves are available in sizes ranging from 1/2” through 6” with clamp or weld end connections and surface finishes ranging through 10 RA.

Here are some key standard features to consider for your next requirement:

Low ferrite DIN 1.4435 316L forged body sizes 1/4″-4″ with controlled sulfur content to BPE 2019 0.005-0.017 with 3.1 Material Certification
Autoclaveable FKM o-ring sealed 304SS stainless steel manual bonnet with PPS thermoplastic handwheel
Thermoplastic piston-type pneumatic actuators with your choice of popular controls for feedback.
FDA and USP Class VI (Sections 87 & 88) conforming steam grade EPDM, MPTFE/EPDM, and MPTFE/FKM backed diaphragms
Specialty fabricated sterile access and GMP style valves
ZERODL^™ machined block body style valve types – Point of Use, T-pattern, Divert style, Tank Bottom, and many others specialties as designed
Interchangeable diaphragms and top works with some other manufacturers
Extensive on the shelf inventory for project support
100% BPE compliant
Full material traceability
