Equilibar recently hired Steve Moore as an incoming product inspector in conjunction with the establishment of our improved quality inspection and calibration area. By separating inspections from our new product testing, Equilibar is able to accelerate development efforts in tandem with continued efforts to improve product quality. To further improve inspections, our calibration bench has Read More

In June, Equilibar welcomed Michael Collins as the fourth member of our engineering team. Michael graduated from North Carolina State University’s Physics program where he was involved in undergraduate research on diffusion in composite materials. Michael has quickly become a key player in working with customers and responding to new application engineer inquiries. His addition Read More

The City of Tempe, Arizona recently completed a water quality upgrade to their 50 million gallon/day water treatment facility. This project included an upgrade to their dosing systems for Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl), which is used to disinfect the water. Special materials (CPVC, PTFE, and hastelloy) were required as Sodium Hypochlorite will corrode standard materials such as Read More

Equilibar precision back pressure regulators use innovative direct diaphragm sealing technology. The diaphragm is the only moving part. Equilibar engineers carefully select the diaphragm material to meet the extreme conditions that your application requires. All regulators are built from SS316L bar stock to handle the toughest operating conditions including extreme cold, high temperatures to 450 C, high Read More

Ever wondered why your Equilibar Application Engineer recommended a Polyimide diaphragm instead of a stainless steel diaphragm? Because our back pressure regulator has only one moving part, the choice of diaphragm selection is complex by necessity. However, our new Diaphragm Selection page sheds a little more information on the diaphragm selection process. If you are Read More

Jeff demonstrates the amazing precision of the EB1HP1 back pressure regulator through a 40,000 to 1 flow rate ratio while maintaining stable inlet pressure.   The video demonstrates controlling Nitrogen gas at a pressure of approximately 1000 psig, and flowing from a range of 1 ml/minute up to 40 liters/minute (a wide flow rate range Read More

Equilibar will be exhibiting at the 23rd North American Catalysis Society Meeting in Louisville, Kentucky starting June 3rd. Booth 141. Catalyst research is our fastest growing business segment. Our back pressure regulators’ micro and nano flow capability is enabling research applications that were previously impractical to achieve with traditional valves.

The Equilibar® back pressure regulator is being used by the Chemical Engineering Department at the University of Texas at Austin to study membrane fouling in applications such as industrial water purification. The stainless steel regulators are being used together with the Equilibar QPV electronic pilot regulator to create a high precision low pressure control for Read More

In early April, I spent a week visiting petroleum industry clients in the Houston and Austin areas. While I knew this sector was growing due to booms in oil and gas exploration, I was amazed to see the amount of growth first hand. One key growth area for Equilibar back pressure regulators is in petroleum Read More
