SC Hydraulic Engineering GBD Series Gas Booster Single Stage Double Acting is a leading manufacturer and designer of an ever growing line of high pressure, air-driven liquid pumps, as well as air and gas boosters which are being used in a variety of industries and applications.
Growing since 1953, we offer liquid pressures as high as 65,000 psig and can exceed 17,000 psig in gas pressures.
General Product Information
HIGH FLOW, MEDIUM PRESSURE
REMOTE CONTROL CAPABILITIES
OIL-FREE HIGH PRESSURE SECTION
NOMINAL PRESSURES UP TO 12,500-PSI
AIR OPERATED – DOES NOT REQUIRE ELECTRICITY
This series of boosters doubles the volume of output gas per cycle and is a good choice for moving relatively high volumes at pressures up to 20,000 psig. Supply pressure is added to the maximum outlet pressure.
The GBD-5 gas booster is a modified version of our popular ABD air booster. It is used to boost gas pressures up to 1,500 psig. The booster is able to move large volumes of gas efficiently when lower pressures are suitable.

(1) Coned and threaded high pressure connection for 1/4″ O.D. tubing.
(2) Maximum allowed working pressure for oxygen service boosters: 5,000-psi max.
(3) Maximum allowed working pressure for hydrogen service boosters : 6,000-psi max.
(4) Oxygen & hydrogen service boosters not available on all models. Contact factory for more information.
Refer to corresponding gas booster performance curve for operating pressures. Maximum material rated outlet pressures can be reached under special operating conditions. Do not use air drive and/or gas supply pressures that equate to higher outlet pressures than those “maximum material rated outlet pressures” shown on table. Refer to Static Outlet Stall Pressure formula shown on table (for example, for gas booster model GBD-30 the formula is: Static Outlet Stall Pressure = 30*Pa+Ps). Maximum recommended air drive operating pressure: 100-psi. Maximum rated air drive pressure: 150-psi (only for static outlet stall pressure).
