High Temperature Seals: Equilibar has developed high temperature (to 327C or 620F ) versions of the Research
Series Back Pressure Regulators for use in research reactors and other high temperature processes. These units use
DuPont Kalrez O-rings to seal metallic diaphragms.
The seals are selected based on your maximum expected temperature, with many available in stock for quick delivery.
Each unit is built to order to precisely fit your application.
Remote Set-Point Controller: Equilibar Back Pressure Regulators are dome loaded with a 1:1 pressure ratio and
require a set point pressure reducing regulator which can be remotely located outside of the hot zone. The dome
loading consumes no fluid, so that your temperature control is not influenced by flow to the reference side of the
diaphragm. The set point controller can be manual or electro-pneumatic. See pages 8 & 9 for options.

Applications
There are hundreds of potential applications for the unique capabilities of the Equilibar. The Research Series is
specifically designed for a variety of gas, liquid, and mixed phase applications where precision is a must.
Applications span from ultra low flow rates to extreme high pressures. By using unique combinations of diaphragms and
o-ring materials, Equilibar regulators are able to perform in the harshest environments that include high temperature
and aggressive chemicals.

Set-Point Kits
Manual Control
Equilibar Precision Back Pressure Regulators get their pilot control signal using a fluid
set-point pressure (also called reference or pilot pressure) on their top port.
You can supply your own fluid set point signal or choose one of the popular pilot set
point regulators below.

Set-Point Controllers
Process Automation
Automating your process pressure is easily accomplished by using an
electronic pressure regulator to provide the pilot set-point pressure to the
Equilibar dome-loaded back pressure regulator.
Equilibar is proud to represent precision electronic regulators from Proportion-Air. These devices are custom tuned on the bench to work perfectly
with the Equilibar precision back pressure regulators or vacuum regulators.
Contact Equilibar or visit our website for additional details about the many
possible configuration of these products.
