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.

how the Equilibar valve works in pressure reducing control

For complex applications, Equilibar® valves can provide reliable pressure-reducing control

Equilibar’s multiple orifice diaphragm technology has become a favorite for providing back pressure control, vacuum control, and flow control, but in certain applications it can also provide distinct advantages as a pressure reducing valve (PRV) that is able to perform where conventional valves cannot. Equilibar devices excel in pressure-reducing applications that push far beyond the Read More
