Abstract
A diaphragm valve includes a valve body that defines a flow path through which fluid flows and an opening that opens to the outside in a middle of flow path; a flexible partition member that covers the opening and separates the flow path from the outside, and changes a cross-sectional area of the flow path; and a flexible support member disposed on a rear surface side opposite to a flow path side of the flexible partition member. A housing is fixed to the valve body via peripheral portions of the flexible partition member and the flexible support member. A humidity sensor that detects a state of an atmosphere or a change thereof in a space defined by the flexible support member and an inner surface of the housing. The diaphragm valve is capable of preventing fluid in a diaphragm valve from leaking to the outside due to breakage of a diaphragm.
