BLACOH's SENTINEL Flow-Thru Diaphragm Seals prevent the dead-leg effect common in most piping systems and provide the ideal solution for viscous or thick slurries which clog appendage type diaphragm seals. SENTINEL Flow-Thru models are easy to clean and allow quick changing of process fluids. And, all SENTINEL diaphragms and seal bodies are unconditionally GUARANTEED for three years from your date of purchase. Without SENTINEL protection, hazardous and corrosive process fluids regularly contaminate and damage system instrumentation, shortening their service life and creating a potentially costly problem...
