Back pressure regulator

Back pressure regulator

BP-3 Series

The BP-3 Series is designed for either liquid or gas service in instrumentation systems. Similar in design to pressure reducing control regulators which regulate outlet pressures, back pressure regulators control the inlet pressure.

The many features of this regulator, particularly its precise throttling action, make it ideal for this type of application. In low fl ow or closed systems, over-pressures often are released by pressure relief valves.

This type of relief is on-off with no throttling control. In contrast to relief valves, the back pressure control regulator with its throttling action substantially improves system pressure regulatio

The BP-6 Series was originally designed as a back pressure regulator for reverse osmosis water purifi cation systems. It may also be easily used in pilot facilities and large instrumentation systems.

The standard 316 stainless seat assembly, which was intended for long term usage in sea water, can also be useful in various chemical environments. While the stainless seat assembly does not offer tight shutoff, it is not normally required in high flow systems. If a more positive shutoff is required a PTFE/stainless seat assembly is available.

The BP-6 Series is normally provided in 316 stainless construction but other materials are availabl

This series is designed to control back pressure at low to moderate pressure ranges with relatively high flow. While designed primarily for instrumentation systems and similar to the PR-7, the BP-8 is also suitable for pilot plant, research and development activities.

Special diaphragm and spring combinations give the user a selection of pressure ranges that are near atmospheric. The glass filled PTFE / stainless seat assembly gives tight shut off even at lower flows for most applications.

The 316 stainless steel body assembly provides service for most chemical environments and brass models are available for those applications not requiring that type of corrosion resistance. If special requirements demand other materials of construction, please contact our office.

The BP-8LF Series back pressure regulator is designed to furnish precise low back pressure control in analytical instrumentation. With the combination of the large diaphragm sensing area of the BP-8 Series Regulator and the low flow seat assembly of the BP-3 Series pressure regulator, pressure control down to 10 inches of water is easily obtainable.

The BP-60 Series is the counterpart of the PR-50 pressure reducing series for systems that are higher in pressure and low to moderate flows. This regulator has a diaphragm for maximum sensitivity in providing relief at high pressures.

The PTFE stainless seat assembly provides good shutoff in most applications. For economy purposes the cap assembly and knob are of aluminum construction as in the PR-50 companion unit.

Good sensitivity and a wide selection of control ranges make this regulator an excellent selection in many research and pilot plant facilities.

The BP-66 Series is the counterpart of the PR-57 pressure reducing series for systems that are higher in pressure and low to moderate flows.

This regulator has piston sensing to provide relief at high pressures. The Polyimide/stainless seat assembly provides good shutoff in most applications. For economy purposes the cap assembly and knob are of aluminum construction as in the PR-57 companion unit.

Good sensitivity and a selection of control ranges make this regulator an excellent selection in many research and pilot plant facilities.

The CBP-3 Series is a compact back pressure regulator with some of the time proven features of the BP-3 Series and new features evolving the compact size.

This regulator is designed to allow the construction of compact sophisticated analytical instrumentation where the optimum in back pressure control is required. Standard features allow service in many varied applications including corrosive fl uids and with the optional features available, the user can tailor this regulator to virtually any application requiring small to moderate fl ow rates.

The LB-1 is an ultra-miniature back pressure regulator that employs many of the same features found in the time-tested design of the CBP-3 & BP-3 Series back pressure regulators.

Designed for surface, panel or manifold mounting, the LB-1 offers the utmost in versatility to the systems designer. It’s low internal volume of less than 3cc makes the LB-1 the perfect choice for systems that require rapid purge cycles.

Standard features permit using this regulator in a wide variety of services, including corrosive fluids. The LB-1 can be tailored to virtually any application by choosing the optional features. This regulator is designed to allow the construction of compact and sophisticated analytical instrumentation where the optimum in back pressure control is required and space is at a premium.

The SBPR Series subatmospheric back pressure regulator is designed to provide precise upstream vacuum control. One example of this could be to introduce a sample gas at a positive pressure into a vacuum chamber. Downstream from this chamber would be the SBPR and a vacuum pump. The positive pressure will build up in the chamber causing the SBPR to open and allow the chamber to return to the vacuum desired. The SBPR will then close and the process will repeat.

The large diameter diaphragm aided by a vacuum assist spring, provides the user with optimum sensitivity for subatmospheric pressure control.
