Abstract

A fluid control valve includes a pressing member, a diaphragm member, and a valve seat. The pressing member presses and deforms the diaphragm member into contact with the valve seat. The valve seat includes a first annular valve seat made of fluorine resin and a second annular valve seat made of heat-resistant resin, which are arranged concentrically adjacent to each other. The heat-resistant resin has a higher deflection temperature under load at 1.82 MPa than the fluorine resin, measured according to ASTM D-648.

Claims (12)

1 . A fluid control valve comprising:

a pressing member;

a diaphragm member;

a valve chamber; and

a valve seat provided in the valve chamber,

the fluid control valve being configured to press and deform the diaphragm member by the pressing member to bring the diaphragm member into contact with the valve seat,

wherein the valve seat includes a first annular valve seat made of fluorine resin and a second annular valve seat made of heat-resistant resin, which are positioned concentrically adjacent to each other,

the heat-resistant resin has a higher deflection temperature under load at 1.82 MPa than the fluorine resin, measured according to ASTM D-648, and

the first annular valve seat and the second annular valve seat are swaged and fixed to the valve chamber.

2 . The fluid control valve according to claim 1 , wherein the deflection temperature under load of the heat-resistant resin at 1.82 MPa is 125° C. or higher, measured according to ASTM D-648.

3 . The fluid control valve according to claim 1 , wherein the heat-resistant resin is polyetheretherketone, polyetherketone, polybenzimidazole, polyimide, or high heat-resistant polyamide.

4 . The fluid control valve according to claim 2 , wherein the heat-resistant resin is polyetheretherketone, polyetherketone, polybenzimidazole, polyimide, or high heat-resistant polyamide.
