Need more info on what you are asking about. Sloan valves have diaphragms.

Vague question. Pick your own:

A diaphram is...

1. a mechanical device in a camera that controls size of aperture of the lens; "the new cameras adjust the diaphragm automatically"
2. (anatomy) a muscular partition separating the abdominal and thoracic cavities; functions in respiration
3. a contraceptive device consisting of a flexible dome-shaped cup made of rubber or plastic; it is filled with spermicide and fitted over the uterine cervix
4. electro-acoustic transducer that vibrates to receive or produce sound waves

Milo, you made me laugh to start the day! That was funny.

I would add #5: a flexible device in a pressure tank used to separate the air above the diaphragm from the water below it. More frequently it is called a bladder.

A diaphragm is used in aircraft hydraulic system pressure accumulators, having a pressure chamber on one side and fluid delivery chamber on the other side of the diaphragm, Thanks.

I think KA's question got answered. Wish we knew what was behind that question.
