Seafood is a staple in nearly every Chilean's diet. Shellfish such as loco (abalone), erizo (sea urchin) and piure (an unusual red invertebrate) join more widely known fish, including sardines, salmon, congrio (conger eel) and atÃºn (yellowfin tuna).
To work efficiently, pipes need a way of regulating how much fluid can pass through them; they also need a way of switching the flow off completely. That's the job that valves do: valves are like mechanical switches that can turn pipes on and off or raise or lower the amount of fluid flowing through them.
How diaphragm valves with metal valve bodies work There are two general designs of diaphragm valves: The full bore type and the weir type. The animation shows how a medium flows through and is shut off by a weir type metal diaphragm valve. Valves based on the diaphragm principle are recognized as having a design with minimal deadleg. This is partly due to the fact that the actuator and body are hermetically separated from each other by the diaphragm, which means that all mechanical parts are located outside the media wetted space.
