Equilibar industrial series valves are designed for gas, liquid, and mixed phase fluid applications requiring larger line sizes and higher Cv. Equilibar offers two form factors in this size range – The IC Industrial Collection and the BD Series – each with their own benefits. The best choice will depend on the application requirements, which you can discuss with our application engineers. Both are designed with Equilibar dome-loaded multiple orifice technology, resulting in precision control across a wide range of flow rates. Port sizes are available from 1.5″ to 4″ standard, with custom sizes on request.

IC- Industrial Collection
We’re excited to announce the launch of the Equilibar IC series, our latest innovation in back pressure regulating valves. These industrial valves provide best-in-class performance in a compact size and are easily customized for a variety of applications.
IC Series valves showing standard flange and thread options
Key Advantages of the NEW IC Series:
- Short lead times – Standard lead times of 2-3 weeks for in-stock valves
- High pressure options – New offering of class 150 and 300, designed to ASME B16.34 standards allowing drop-in replacement of underperforming valves from other brands.
- Premium materials – Standard offering of dual-certified CF3M/1.4409 stainless steel body material with Hastelloy and most nickel-based alloy options available upon request.
- Flexible process connection options – NPT, ANSI RF Flange, and tri-clamps stocked standard. DIN flanges, BSPP threaded ports, and other connections available upon request.
Currently available in 1.5″, 2″ and 3″ ports in CF3M/1.4409 stainless steel
Equilibar IC16 – 2″ valve with electronic pilot regulator for high speed automation
Applications
BD Series Valves
Equilibar’s original BD industrial series valves are available in SS316L, anodized aluminum and PVC bodies. They have external elbows attached to ports on the bottom plate. Stainless steel elbows are welded to the bottom plate, aluminum elbows are threaded, and polymer elbows are glued. Elbows come in NPT standard, and are available in Tri-clamp, ANSI CLASS 150 flanges; ANSI CLASS 300 flanges; BSPP and DIN flanges;
Key Advantages of BD Series:
- Selection of materials – Standard offering includes SS316L, anodized aluminum and PVC.
- Flexible process connection options – NPT is stocked standard. ANSI flanges, tri-clamp flanges, DIN flanges, and BSPP threaded ports are available upon request.
- Variety of pressure ranges – SS316L BD valves are available in standard, medium and high pressure models.
