Engineering Risks & FAQ - **Caution**: - **Caution**: - **Caution**: ### Q: What materials are used in this valve core? **A**: The valve core is made with 316L stainless steel for the body and FDA-approved EPDM or PTFE for the diaphragm. These materials are chosen for their corrosion resistance and food-grade compliance. ### Q: What are the operating temperature and pressure limits? **A**: The temperature range is -40 to 85°C. These are reference values; always confirm with the manufacturer for your specific application. ### Q: How does the valve core prevent contamination? **A**: The flexible diaphragm creates a sterile barrier between the process fluid and the actuator, ensuring that the fluid only contacts hygienic surfaces. This prevents contamination and maintains product purity. ### Q: What is the expected cycle life? **A**: Under normal conditions, the valve core has a cycle life of 100,000 cycles. This is a reference value and may vary depending on operating conditions and maintenance. ## 6.
