Mark 968 Series

Sanitary Gas Regulators sizes 3/4" - 2" for biopharm, pharma, food &

beverage low pressure Clean Dry Gas/Air blanketing and inline
pressure regulation

The Mark 968 Sanitary Gas Regulator is the ideal valve

for low pressure gas regulation in pharmaceutical and

food & beverage applications. The self-contained low

pressure gas regulator is for use on tank blanketing and

other very low critical pressure air and gas applications.

The Mark 968 is normally open. Increases in the outlet

pressure are sensed through the aspirator causing the

large elastomer diaphragm to rise, which moves the

plug toward the seat. As outlet pressure decreases, the

diaphragm moves down and moves the plug away from

the seat to increase flow. The lever, which connects the

stem to the diaphragm, amplifies diaphragm forces for

tighter shutoff (only available on sizes 3/4" and 1").

The large diaphragm and lever actuation allows the

Mark 968 to act with higher sensitivity compared to

smaller diaphragm pressure regulators. High sensitivity

is important, as the Mark 968 often works with very low

pressure (down to 1" w.c. or 2,5 mbar). This special

actuation improves the accuracy and shutoff of the valve

- two important benefits in this style of regulator.

Together, the SST construction, FDA-approved seals

and the tri-clamp connections make this valve well

suited for sterile gas applications and environments.
