Product Overview
The FURON SAINT-GOBAIN PFD2 316F is a high-purity pneumatic fluid handling valve engineered for precise control of aggressive and ultra-pure chemical media in industrial process systems. Manufactured by Saint-Gobain (Furon division), this valve utilizes a pneumatically actuated diaphragm or bellows isolation mechanism to provide leak-tight shutoff and throttling capability without exposing the working fluid to elastomeric seals or metal actuation components. The 316F designation indicates a 316 stainless steel wetted body construction with a fluoropolymer (PFA/PTFE) fluid contact surface, making it ideal for corrosive, high-purity, and contamination-sensitive applications. As a process and pneumatic valve, it serves as a critical control element in hydraulic and pneumatic circuits requiring reliable on/off or modulating flow control of acids, bases, solvents, and high-purity deionized water.

Engineering Features & Advantages
- Precision Performance: Pneumatic actuation delivers fast, repeatable response for critical on/off and throttling control, with minimal dead volume and excellent flow coefficient (Cv) characteristics for precise metering of process fluids.
- High-Purity & Corrosion Resistance: The 316F construction with PFA/PTFE wetted surfaces eliminates contamination and resists attack from aggressive acids, bases, and solvents, ensuring media integrity in semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing environments.
- Industrial Reliability: Built for continuous operation under severe industrial conditions, with a robust stainless steel body and isolation diaphragm/bellows design that prevents actuator fluid cross-contamination and extends service life.
- Direct Fit Replacement: Exact dimensional and functional compatibility with original FURON OEM standards, ensuring drop-in replacement without modification to existing manifolds or piping.
