BA1/BL1 Bio-Sanitary Back Pressure Regulators
The BA1 and BL1 Bio-Sanitary Back Pressure Regulators are stainless steel back pressure relief regulators designed to manage small to mid-capacity flow rates in sanitary biotechnical process piping systems. These units control inlet pressure within a range of 2 to 135 psig (0.13 to 9.3 Barg). The regulators feature electro-polished interior and exterior surfaces, ensuring a high level of cleanliness. A “non-wetted” guide located in the topworks above the diaphragm provides stability across all set points. The BA1 model includes a self-draining angle-style body with a side inlet and bottom outlet, making it ideal for sanitary applications.
