Abstract:
A diaphragm valve includes a valve body including a valve cavity and first and second ports, and a valve assembly disposed to seal the valve cavity. The valve assembly includes a valve seat, a seat carrier and a diaphragm, with the valve seat being retained with said seat carrier and disposed to surround the first port and including a flow passage in fluid communication with the first port. The seat carrier includes an annular body having an outer rim and a web that extends radially inward from the outer rim to a central opening, the central opening being aligned with the first port. The web includes a plurality of flow passages separated by lands about said central opening. Each land has a surface area that is less than a cross-sectional area of said second port so as to reduce obstruction of flow when the land overlays the second port.
