Each March, Equilibar conducts an annual survey of scholarly articles to learn more about how our technology is used to enable scientific progress. We’re happy to report that since March of 2024, approximately 120 scientific articles have cited our devices. These papers describe experimental work being done not only at US universities, but also at Read More
Ammonia cracking is a chemical process that breaks down ammonia into its component elements of nitrogen and hydrogen. The process typically involves high temperatures and the use of catalysts. While it is used in a variety of industrial processes, ammonia cracking is attracting more and more interest lately because it offers practical benefits for both Read More
Every March, the Equilibar team gets a fun reminder to focus on our university research customers when the NCAA basketball tournament teams are announced and our office bracket contest heats up. The tournament is also our cue to do an informal annual survey of research publications citing Equilibar fluid control devices. This includes work conducted Read More
The ability to handle extreme temperatures is one of the benefits of the dome-loaded multiple orifice design of Equilibar® valves and regulators. Each component of these devices–the body, O-ring, diaphragm, and bolts–can be made from virtually any material, which means they are infinitely customizable. As a result, the superior precision, instantaneous adjustment and frictionless operation Read More

Held once every three years, Achema is a massive gathering of leading manufacturers and researchers from around the world. The 2018 Achema will be held Read More
In 2017, as part of our tenth anniversary celebration, we’ve been honored to remember some of the clients and partners who have helped us become pressure control experts. Integrated Lab Solutions (ILS) of Berlin performs simulation, design, construction and chemical testing work on custom- and standard chemical R&D testing units. For many years, ILS has been Read More
Equilibar is pleased to announce the release of the LVF back pressure regulator, a miniature, low dead volume version of its low flow back pressure regulator. The LVF comes exclusively in 1/16″ size ports, either HPLC (10-32) style threads or HiP AF1 style. The unit has a maximum flow coefficient (Cv) of 0.01. Equilibar developed Read More
Accurate flow control is important across a wide range of industries and processes, from managing gases in research and manufacturing to controlling liquids in chemical, energy, semiconductor, and other demanding applications. Maintaining the desired flow rate improves process consistency, product quality, and overall system performance. Two challenges engineers frequently encounter are controlling flow across a Read More
