Inches water column (in WC)

Inches of water column is a unit of pressure mainly used in North America to measure small differences in pressure. 1 inch of water is the pressure exerted by a 1 inch high column of water at a given temperature. It can also be represented as in WC, inAq, inches water gauge, or in H2O. Air and other industrial gasses are often measured in inches of water when at low pressure rather than inches of mercury or pounds per square inch (psi).

The direct sealing diaphragm technology of Equilibar back pressure regulators offers unmatched precision for challenging pressure control situations including those in aerospace, research, catalysis, two-phase flow, cryogenic, biotech, and extreme temperatures.

Pressure Control for Pyrolysis Processes

Pyrolysis is the thermal decomposition of materials at elevated temperatures. Pyrolysis processes have a wide variety of uses throughout industry—they are used to break down heavy hydrocarbons in oil refining, for example, and to reduce organic matter to elemental carbon for charcoal production. Pyrolysis reactors are particularly well suited for Equilibar technology because they involve Read More
