Description
BP-8 Series Pressure Control Regulators
High Flow Back Pressure Regulator
The BP-8 Series is designed to control back pressure at low to moderate pressure ranges with relatively high flow. While designed primarily for instrumentation systems and patterned after the PR-7 Series, the BP-8 Series is also suitable for pilot plant, research and development activities. The soft seat design of this unit provides positive shutoff in all applications.
