Back Pressure Regulators

The Type 7200BP Back Pressure Regulator is a high-flow, highly accurate and repeatable pneumatic relief valve with an adjustable set point. It is a normally closed valve that will remain closed until the pressure at the inlet exceeds the regulator’s set point. When pressure does exceed the regulator’s set-point, the valve will open and vent air until the pressure decreases to below the set-point.  A typical application is to provide protection against over-pressurisation in the downstream portion of a pneumatic system. In an over pressurisation scenario, the air flowing through the 7200BP can be vented to atmosphere or could be captured and directed to trigger an emergency shut-off valve.

A back pressure regulator is a control device designed to maintain a set upstream pressure by relieving excess pressure in a system. These regulators are essential in applications where it is necessary to manage pressure build-up upstream of the regulator, ensuring system protection, maintaining efficiency, and enhancing safety.
