ControlAir is pleased to announce the new Type 855BP Miniature Back Pressure Regulator
The Type 855BP is a compact relief valve that provides economical, high performance pressure relief with an adjustable set point. It is a normally closed valve that will remain closed until the inlet pressure exceeds the regulator’s set point. A typical application for the Type 855BP Miniature Back Pressure Regulator is to provide protection against over pressurization in the downstream portion of a pneumatic system. In an over pressurization scenario, the air flowing through the Type 855BP can be vented to atmosphere or could be captured and directed to trigger an emergency shut-off valve.
ALERT: ControlAir Type 500X I/P Transducer Product Change Announcement
Our Type 500X product line is undergoing a part numbering change. Currently, all 4-20mA signal Type 500X’s use a circuit board that will support a FM Approvals Intrinsically Safe listing. We will now offer a standard circuit board that will be considered "General Purpose" and not for use in hazardous environments. We are doing this for several reasons, including changes to Intrinsically Safe certification requirements from FM Approvals, as well as increasing our product availability in the coming months due to possible shortages in the Intrinsically Safe circuit board. Please note that this change only affects the 4-20 mA boards and not the voltage-driven ones.

Clippard Announces Issuance of U.S. Patent for the New Eclipse Proportional Isolation Valve
Clippard Instrument Laboratory, Inc., a manufacturer of Precision Flow Control products with focus in the medical, analytical, liquid/gas delivery, laboratory and industrial automation markets, announces that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued Patent No. 10,738,904 to Clippard’s new Eclipse Proportional Valve. The Patent, "Flow Control Valve Using Ceramic Valve Members", will expire in 2040.
U.S. Patent No. 10,738,904 covers "a flow control valve that uses two ceramic members having conforming surfaces which are coupled together to form a fluid-tight seal, and slidable relative to each other to control fluid flow. The shape of the ceramic apertures and their interaction when the valve is opened and closed permits ultra-fine control of the flow of gas or liquid".
Utilizing the industry’s most robust and powerful miniature linear actuator, the patented steppercontrolled Eclipse Proportional Isolation Valve leads the industry in performance and durability. This valve is ideal in critical applications for liquid or gas delivery requiring ultra-fine resolution and excellent repeatability. In addition, the unique design allows for custom flow profiles.
- Leak free (<0.05 sccm)
- Excellent linearity (<4% of full-scale)
- Cycle life of typically >1 million
- Repeatability <0.5% of full travel

New High Flow Gas Pressure Regulators Offer Robust Design and Built in the USA
The Type 1227 and Type 1230 Gas Pressure Regulators are direct-operated, pressure-reducing regulators suitable for use with compressed air, natural gas, or an assortment of other inert gases. These gas pressure regulators help maintain consistent inlet pressure to downstream equipment, allowing for the accurate control of distribution system pressures.
What is the difference between a relieving and non-relieving regulator?
Visually from the outside, there is usually no difference between a relieving and non-relieving regulator. Functionally there is a major difference. A relieving regulator can bleed pressure from downstream if the pressure rises above the setpoint, even in a no-flow condition. Normally this is done by a relief valve (or hole) in the center of the diaphragm and the pintle assembly. A large majority of pressure regulator applications use a relieving regulator.

New Precision Back Pressure Regulator Provides Protection Against Over Pressurization
Ideal for applications that require high relief capacity.
ControlAir is pleased to announce the introduction of the new Type 7200BP Precision Back Pressure Regulator. The Type 7200BP 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 the pressure does exceed the regulator's setpoint, the valve will open and vent air until the pressure decreases to below the setpoint.

New Clippard DR-2 Precision Miniature Regulator Series
When Clippard invented miniature regulators in 1962, the MAR Series became very popular as a simple, robust, and cost-effective regulator in a small package with exceptionally long life. As regulator applications continue to increase, Clippard is meeting the demand with the newest addition to the reputable regulator line. The new DR-2 Series provides greater accuracy and repeatability while maintaining the same flow and performance characteristics as the MAR regulators in a durable, sleek package.

Download PDFNew! 2-Way Miniature Pinch Valves
The Clippard NPV Series Pinch Valve is a solenoid-operated device that is designed to open and close tubes for controlling flow of liquids and gases. Other valve types have internal passages that may cause small amounts of fluid to remain in the valve. Pinch valves have no areas or dead volume where fluid can become trapped. Only the inside of the tubing contacts the fluid. Energizing the solenoid retracts or attracts the plunger, which opens or closes the tube. De-energizing the solenoid will allow the plunger to return to its original state.
Features:
- Small, compact design
- Hygienic and easy to clean (replace tubes)
- Low power consumption
- High cycle life
- Can handle whole blood and particulate matter
- Unobstructed flow path
- Each valve comes with 12" of medical/laboratory grade silicone tubing, pre-installed
- Variety of tubing sizes available
- Tubing is easily replaceable
