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.

Claim (Index 11):
The diaphragm valve of  claim 1  wherein said diaphragm is operable to open and close flow between said first port and said second port, said diaphragm being moveable into contact with said valve seat to close flow between said first port and said second port.
