UDRI’s Sealant and Elastomeric Materials research takes place in two laboratories: the Sealants and Elastomers Lab (SEL) and the Small Sample Materials Compatibility Lab (SSMC). Both labs routinely ...

Pinch valves can only effectively be used in low-pressure systems because of the elastomer materials they are made from. The pressure limit can be increased by utilizing liners or body designs with ...

Diaphragm valves are related to pinch valves, but use an elastomeric diaphragm, instead of an elastomeric liner in the valve ... maintain, meter, or read the flow of material through hoses, pipes or ...
