An oscillating back pressure regulator has been developed. It is capable of accurately controlling back pressure as high as 6000 psi at flow rates ranging from Approx. one to 100 ml/hr. It has been successfully applied in CO/sub 2/-crude oil coreflooding experiments involving the simultaneous flow of 3 fluid phases. The device is easily assembled from off-the-shelf components.
