Diaphragm - Type Diaphragm Seal
Type L990.10 - Standard Welded Diaphragm Seal
Applications
Process industry diaphragm seal to combine bourdon tube
pressure gauges. Intended for corrosive, contaminated, hot
or viscous pressure media.
Features
Multi-purpose diaphragm seal
Threaded process connection
Diaphragm welded to upper housing
Design
Diaphragm Seals
WIKA Datasheet L990.10
The diaphragm is welded to the upper housing which allows
the replacement of the lower housing without jeopardizing
the integrity of the system fill fluid and installed instrument.
The upper and lower housing are bolted together and sealed
by use of an O-ring. Process wetted components can be
manufactured with solid metallic and nonmetallic materials.

Notes
1. Includes previous type 990.10.502.
2. Capillary connection requires a stainless steel
upper housing.
3. Teflon
diaphragm (type 990.10.501) design only. (MWP
200 psi@ 200°F) Available with 1/4" or 1/2" NPT
female process connections only.
4. Customer to supply flushing plug.
5. For all welded design (990.10.520) only.
6. Nuts and bolts only. Clamp rings, support
ring and washers are 316 stainless steel.
Requires silver-plated stainless steel gasket.
7. Viton
