Back Pressure

Back Pressure refers to the pressure within a system that opposes the flow of fluid. This pressure can build up due to resistance in the pipeline or components, affecting the efficiency and performance of the system. Managing back pressure is crucial for optimizing fluid flow and ensuring the system operates within its designed parameters.

Back Pressure Application:

• Waterworks: Important in water distribution systems to ensure consistent and efficient flow.
• Irrigation distribution lines: helps to ensure pressure is not dropping in the main supply lines when multiple outlets are being open at once.

Back Pressure Benefits:

• System Optimization: Helps maintain desired flow rates and pressures.
• Prevents Overpressure: Reduces risk of damage from excessive pressure build-up.
• Flow Control: Enhances overall system efficiency by managing resistance.
