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 that 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
- Requires No Lubrication
- 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.
Application
- Laser Cutting
- Leak Detection
- Pressure Testing Vessels
- Low-Pressure Gas Recovery
- Charging Of Nitrogen Bottles
- Gas Assisted Injection Molding
- Aircraft Slide Chute Gas Storage
- Charging Of Nitrogen Accumulators
- Transfer Of Sf6 For Arc Suppression
- Transfer Of Sf6 For Circuit Breaker Insulation
- Boosting Pressure From Nitrogen Generators

- Coned and threaded high-pressure connection for 1/4″ O.D. tubing.
- Maximum allowed working pressure for oxygen service boosters: 5,000 psi max.
- Maximum allowed working pressure for hydrogen service boosters: 6,000 psi max.
- Oxygen & hydrogen service boosters are not available on all models. Contact the factory for more information.
Refer to the 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 in the table. Refer to the Static Outlet Stall Pressure formula shown in the 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).
