ABSTRACT:
The valve structure of the present invention can completely eliminate the dead volume of a valve in closed position, thereby enhancing the precision and reliability of measurement. A valve chamber (3) is divided into an upper portion and a lower portion by a diaphragm (6). The whole circumference of the diaphragm (6) is fixed on the same level as the bottom of the valve chamber (3). A fluid inlet port (4a) is formed on the substantial center of the bottom face of the valve chamber (3). A stepped hole (7) is arranged concentrically with the fluid inlet port (4a) open to the valve chamber (3). A valve seat (8) composed of perfluoro-elastomer has a stepped element (8a) which corresponds to and is fitted in the stepped hole (7). A valve disc (10) projected through the bottom face of the diaphragm (6) is pressed against a ring projection (8b) of the valve seat (8) protruded into the valve chamber (3). The diaphragm (6) presses against the bottom of the valve chamber in the closed position and thereby eliminates the dead volume.
