The Type 710BP Back Pressure Regulator is a high-flow, precision pneumatic relief valve designed to prevent over-pressurization in pneumatic systems. It features an adjustable set point and handles flows up to 50 SCFM. Key features include:
- High Sensitivity: Responds quickly to pressure variations.
- High Flow Capacity: Supports flows up to 50 SCFM, depending on pressure and port size.
- Compensating Flow Control: Adjusts the control valve to match system flow variations.
- On-Line Maintenance: Can be serviced without removing from the air line.
Commonly used to regulate pressure in systems supplied by compressors, it works by relieving excess pressure, activating intake valves, and venting excess through a bleed orifice. It is often used for protecting sensitive equipment from over-pressurization.
Specifications:
- Flow Capacity: Up to 50 SCFM (depending on set point and port size)
- Maximum Pressure: 250 psig (17.25 bar)
- Operating Temperature: 0°F to 150°F (-18°C to 66°C)
- Mounting: Pipe or panel
- Weight: 1.5 lbs (0.68 kg)
The unit is made from die-cast aluminum with various trim materials (acetal, brass, steel), and it has a phenolic plastic knob for adjustment.
Applications:
- Protects pneumatic systems from excessive pressure, often in compressor-driven systems.
- Can be paired with inlet-restricting valves and bleed orifices for more complex pressure control.
Additionally, various port sizes and pressure ranges are available, with options for tamper-proof covers, stainless steel components, and ATEX certification for hazardous environments.
The Type 7200BP and Type 855BP models provide similar functions but with higher flow capacities (up to 350 SCFM for the 7200BP) and more compact designs for smaller systems (855BP), catering to different system requirements.
