The Baird 772 BPR Back Pressure Regulator was designed for normal or heavy duty service in any application where an upstream fluid pressure must be maintained in an active flowing system. Applications have included: (1) Paraffin and/or Gas Lock where a steady pressure can be maintained on the column of oil within the tubing, thus allowing the gas bubbles to be pumped out of the string before they rupture from the lack of external pressure; (2) Heading Up for wells that have a tendency to head up and flow, a constant pressure maintained on the oil column will assure a full string at all times.
