KBP Series
The Swagelok KBP series is a high-sensitivity, generalpurpose regulator. It is designed to control back-pressure
levels in analytical or process systems upstream of the
regulator. The convoluted diaphragm provides excellent
sensitivity and set point repeatability. The metal-to-metal
diaphragm seal minimizes the potential for leakage.

Features
Metal-to-metal diaphragm seal
Convoluted non-perforated diaphragm
Two-piece cap design provides linear load on the diaphragm
Low torque/fine pitch adjustment
Low internal volume
Panel mounting option
Material traceability available
