Higher Pressures for PTFE Regulators

January 7, 2015 by Jeff Jennings

2015: Equilibar recently expanded its 100% PTFE Teflon regulator options to allow higher pressure ratings in liquid fluid service only (not gas service). Using 1/8″ and 1/16″ PTFE tubing, these regulators can now be rated to 250 psig and 500 psig, respectively. These units use PTFE/Glass diaphragms and FFKM wetted O-rings. The LF1 back pressure Read More

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
