Abstract
A diaphragm unit for a diaphragm pump includes a diaphragm core and a multi-layer pump diaphragm connected to the diaphragm core. The pump diaphragm has a fluid-impermeable working layer which comes into contact with a fluid to be delivered, and a fluid-impermeable safety layer. A sealed volume for receiving fluid passing through the working layer is arranged between the working layer and the safety layer. A first clamping region of the diaphragm forms a ring which annularly surrounds the diaphragm core. To detect a rupture of the working diaphragm layer, at least one element of a sensor is provided within the ring formed by the first clamping region for detecting fluid which penetrates into the sealed volume.
