New Diaphragm Selection page demystifies material selection

Equilibar Diaphragm Selection Page

Ever wondered why your Equilibar Application Engineer recommended a Polyimide diaphragm instead of a stainless steel diaphragm? Because our back pressure
regulator has only one moving part, the choice of diaphragm selection is complex by necessity.

However, our new Diaphragm Selection page sheds a little more information on the diaphragm selection process. If you are the kind of person who likes to know “why” this
page might be for you.

Compare and Contrast: conventional flow control valve vs. an Equilibar regulator

Equilibar’s direct-sealing diaphragm technology was first introduced to provide precise backpressure control for complex applications; however, engineers and scientists soon discovered that these devices can offer advantages for extremely complex flow control applications as well.  Specifically, they perform well in applications involving wide flow rate ranges, corrosive chemicals, extreme pressures, multi-phase flows and supercritical states. Read More
