## Abstract

Disclosed is a corrosion-resistant diaphragm valve, including a valve cover, a thick film diaphragm sheet clamped and pressed jointly by the valve cover and a supporting block, and a valve seat above which the valve cover is coupled. A first lower opening of the valve cover is embedded with the supporting block to limit a movement space of a pneumatic piston member, and a second lower opening of the supporting block is embedded with a guided diaphragm pressing block, and the diaphragm pressing block is connected to one end of the pneumatic piston member. A straight sealing convex strip extending through a valve head is disposed at a bottom of the thick film diaphragm sheet. A curved runner C-shaped opening is formed in a curved runner structure which is bent upwards in a flattened curve; and the straight sealing convex strip is aligned with and pressed against an arc-shaped dam.
