In-Line Balanced Pressure Proportioner Model KBP – ILBP

Description

The in-line balanced pressure proportioner (ILPB) is a foam proportioning device which is used to balance the higher foam concentrate pressure to the lower system water pressure on pilot pressure regulating systems or foam pump proportioning systems. The ILBP is particularly useful in providing accurate proportioning at multiple riser locations that are situated remotely from the central foam concentrate storage tank. Different sizes of ILBP can be installed on the same foam concentrate supply system to ensure the most appropriate size and demand combination is used. The ILBP is tested and approved to work at different pressure and flow rates and will automatically adjust to give accurate proportioning across its working range.
