- Key Products/Technologies
- **Back Pressure Regulators**: Products utilizing dome-loaded multiple-orifice technology, featuring a flexible diaphragm as the sole moving part for frictionless and stable operation. Capable of precise pressure control across an ultra-wide flow range, from ultra-low to ultra-high flows (typically 1000:1, up to 100,000:1 for research applications). Stable control of mixed-phase fluids (liquids and gases) without pressure spikes. Diverse model lineup including Research Series (up to 450°C, 690 barg), FD Series (food/sanitary, up to 150°C), BD Series (industrial, up to 300°C), IC Series (high-flow industrial), and HT Series (high-temperature, up to 550°C). The SD Series for single-use systems features disposable polymer bodies and diaphragms made from USP Class VI polymers and 316 stainless steel.**Back Pressure Regulators**: Products utilizing dome-loaded multiple-orifice technology, featuring a flexible diaphragm as the sole moving part for frictionless and stable operation.

- **Vacuum Pressure Regulators**: Products offering stable vacuum control through a flexible diaphragm and multiple-orifice design. Rapid response capability, automatically reacting to changes in system flow rate or supply pressure within milliseconds to maintain the desired vacuum setpoint. Various models available, including the EVR Series. Custom material selection, including machined steel, is possible for high-temperature or corrosive media applications.**Vacuum Pressure Regulators**: Products offering stable vacuum control through a flexible diaphragm and multiple-orifice design.

- **Electronic Pressure Regulators**: The Q Series, providing high-precision pressure regulation via electronic setpoint signals. The QPV electronic pressure regulator, enabling precise pressure control without hysteresis or deadband through sophisticated proportional solenoid valve functionality. An internal pressure transducer measures actual pressure results, and the system powers solenoid valves to add or remove gas as needed to reduce the error between the desired and actual pressure.**Electronic Pressure Regulators**: The Q Series, providing high-precision pressure regulation via electronic setpoint signals.

- Core Advantages
- **Innovative Dome-Loaded Multiple-Orifice Technology**: A unique design surpassing the limitations of conventional valves, offering exceptional precision and stable pressure control capabilities. This involves a precise force balance on a flexible diaphragm between three separate pressures: the pilot set-point pressure, the fluid inlet pressure, and the downstream vent pressure.**Innovative Dome-Loaded Multiple-Orifice Technology**: A unique design surpassing the limitations of conventional valves, offering exceptional precision and stable pressure control capabilities. This involves a precise force balance on a flexible diaphragm between three separate pressures: the pilot set-point pressure, the fluid inlet pressure, and the downstream vent pressure.
- **Ultra-Wide Flow Range Control**: Ability to maintain consistent pressure across an extremely broad flow range, from 1000:1 up to 100,000:1. This multi-orifice design allows for single-valve solutions that cover the entire flow range, adapting to varying flow rates.**Ultra-Wide Flow Range Control**: Ability to maintain consistent pressure across an extremely broad flow range, from 1000:1 up to 100,000:1.
