The BP-3 Series is designed for either liquid or gas service in instrumentation systems. Similar in design to pressure reducing control regulators which regulate outlet pressures, back pressure regulators control the inlet pressure. The many features of this regulator, particularly its precise throttling action, make it ideal for this type of application. In low flow or closed systems, over-pressures often are released by pressure relief valves. This type of relief is on-off with no throttling control. In contrast to relief valves, the back pressure control regulator with its throttling action substantially improves system pressure regulation.
The BP-6 Series was originally designed as a back pressure regulator for reverse osmosis water purification systems. It may also be easily used in pilot facilities and large instrumentation systems. The standard 316 stainless seat assembly, which was intended for long term usage in sea water, can also be useful in various chemical environments. While the stainless seat assembly does not offer tight shutoff, it is not normally required in high flow systems. If a more positive shutoff is required a PTFE/stainless seal assembly is available.
The BP-6 Series is normally provided in 316 stainless construction but other materials are available.
This series is designed to control back pressure at low to moderate pressure ranges with relatively high flow. While designed primarily for instrumentation systems and similar to the PR-7, the BP-8 is also suitable for pilot plant, research and development activities. Special diaphragm and spring combinations give the user a selection of pressure ranges that are near atmospheric. The glass filled PTFE / stainless seat assembly gives tight shut off even at lower flows for most applications.
The 316 stainless steel body assembly provides service for most chemical environments and brass models are available for those applications not requiring that type of corrosion resistance. If special requirements demand other materials of construction, please contact the factory.
The BP-60 Series is the counterpart of the PR-50 pressure reducing series for systems that are higher in pressure and low to moderate flows. This regulator has a diaphragm for maximum sensitivity in providing relief at high pressures. The PTFE stainless seat assembly provides good shutoff in most applications. For economy purposes the cap assembly and knob are of aluminum construction as in the PR-50 companion unit. Good sensitivity and a wide selection of control ranges make this regulator an excellent selection in many research and pilot plant facilities.
The BP-66 Series is the counterpart of the PR-57 pressure reducing series for systems that are higher in pressure and low to moderate flows. This regulator has piston sensing to provide relief at high pressures. The Polyimide/stainless seat assembly provides good shutoff in most applications. For economy purposes the cap assembly and knob are of aluminum construction as in the PR-57 companion unit. Good sensitivity and a selection of control ranges make this regulator an excellent selection in many research and pilot plant facilities.
