LB-1 Series Back Pressure Control Regulators

General Details

The LB-1 is an ultra-miniature back pressure regulator that employs many of the same features found in the time tested design of the CBP-3 & BP-3 Series back pressure regulators. Designed for surface, panel or manifold mounting, the LB-1 offers the utmost in versatility to the systems designer. It’s low internal volume of less than 3cc makes the LB-1 the perfect choice for systems that require rapid purge cycles. Standard features permit using this regulator in a wide variety of services, including corrosive fluids. The LB-1 can be tailored to virtually any application by utilizing

the optional features. This regulator is designed to allow the construction of compact and sophisticated analytical instrumentation where the optimum in back pressure control is required and space is at a premium.
