ABSTRACT:
A pinch valve is described wherein the critical flow path is modified to form a space between two opposing metal disks that transition between an open and a closed state. The disks are characterized by a spring constant and act like a diaphragm. A closure force is applied externally to completely close the disks and truncate flow, while providing a substantially perfect seal. Removal of the external force enables the disks to spring open and initiate flow. The pinch valve advantageously eliminates valve bodies, dead space, moving parts and seals, such as elastomers, that are subject to wear and corrosion.
