Back pressure regulators UV 5.5 ATEX H2

  • Self-acting back pressure regulator for accurate control without pneumatic or electrical elements
  • Made of stainless steel 316L for excellent corrosion resistance
  • Adjustable inlet pressure with a non-rising adjusting screw
  • Various seal materials suitable for different media
  • Options for special connections like Aseptic, ANSI, or JIS flanges

Add to compare

The UV 5.5 ATEX H2 back pressure regulator is a spring-loaded proportional control valve designed for universal application in small to medium flow rates. It is specifically engineered for use in explosive atmospheres (ATEX) and features a self-acting mechanism that controls pressure upstream of the valve without requiring external pneumatic or electrical control elements. The valve body and medium-wetted internal parts are made of stainless steel 316L, providing excellent corrosion resistance. The valve cone is fitted with a soft seal, and the inlet pressure is balanced across the valve seat by the force of the valve spring (set pressure). If the inlet pressure rises above the set pressure, the valve opens, and if it decreases, the valve closes. The valve is compliant with ATEX directive 2014/34/EU and DIN EN ISO 80079-36, and includes features such as an adjusting screw lock, grounding lug, and partial use of low-spark material. It is suitable for liquids, gases, and steam, with a temperature range of -40°C to 200°C and a maximum operating pressure of 20 bar at reference temperature. The valve is available in various configurations and materials, with options for different seal materials and special connections.

Use Cases

  • Pressure control upstream of pipelines in ATEX hazardous areas.
  • Liquid, gas, and steam systems requiring controlled relief at small to medium flow rates.

Capabilities

  • Controls upstream pressure in the range 0.5–20 bar, depending on spring setting.
  • Operates fully self-acting, without external pneumatic or electrical energy.
  • Handles liquids, gases, and steam within defined pressure and temperature limits.
  • Provides configurable flow capacity via Kvs values from 1.3 to 7.5 m³/h.
  • Supports multiple connection standards (threaded, DIN/ANSI flanged, special connections).
