Research Series Back Pressure Regulators

Precision at high pressures and low flow rates

Equilibar® Research Series back pressure regulators solve critical performance problems for laboratory and gas analysis systems worldwide. They are especially popular for applications such as catalysis research and reservoir core analysis.

Equilibar has several different trim styles and many different diaphragm materials in the Research Series designs to help meet many demanding research conditions. The Research Series back pressure regulators work through an incredibly wide range of flow, pressure, and temperature. Materials include Hastelloy, SS316L, PTFE, and FFKM (Kalrez), to name a few.

Maximum temperature ranges of the research back pressure regulators are standard 150°C, with the capability to go up to 200°C (with viton seals and metallic diaphragm) and 325°C (with Kalrez seals and metallic diaphragm). In extreme temperature cases, High Temperature (HT) models can be used in processes up to 450°C.

Spray Coating Systems Have Unique Pressure Control Needs

It’s difficult to overstate the wide range of applications that use spraying technology. Spray coating systems can be used to wash fresh fruit or to frost gourmet cookies. They can also be used to apply molten glue coatings in industrial processes or paint finishes on consumer goods. And everything in between. Many of these applications Read More
