Selecting the correct pressure regulator requires a clear understanding of your process parameters, flow characteristics, and control objectives. At Sentrol Inc., we work extensively with fluid control instrumentation, and we’re here to help you select the appropriate pressure control instrumentation for your application. Below, we examine four pressure regulators manufactured by Jordan Valve, including the Mark 60 Pressure Regulator, the Mark 61 Series Self Operated Pressure Regulator, the Mark 50 Backpressure Regulator, and the Mark 501/502 Series High Flow Back Pressure Regulator, to help you match the right regulator to your process conditions.

Jordan Valve Mark 60 Pressure Regulator
The Mark 60 is a direct acting, self operated pressure reducing regulator designed to maintain a consistent downstream set point by throttling inlet pressure across its valve seat. Because it uses the downstream sensing pressure as its control signal, no external actuator or power supply is required for operation. Its compact body geometry makes it well suited for installations with limited inline space or weight restrictions. For processes requiring stable reduced pressure delivery across gas or liquid media, the MK60 provides dependable set point control without added control system complexity.
Jordan Valve Mark 61 Series Self Operated Pressure Regulator
The Mark 61 Series is also a self operated pressure reducing regulator, but its design accommodates higher flow capacity and more severe service conditions than the Mark 60. It uses the downstream process pressure as its operating signal, modulating the valve plug position to maintain the desired outlet pressure set point. Its heavier duty internal construction and greater Cv capacity make it appropriate for larger pipelines or processes with significant flow variation and higher turndown requirements. When your system demands both accurate pressure reduction and the ability to handle elevated volumetric flow rates, the Mark 61 Series provides the necessary range and structural integrity.
Jordan Valve Mark 50 Backpressure Regulator
The Mark 50 operates on an upstream sensing principle, functioning as a self operated back pressure regulator that opens to vent excess pressure and maintain a defined inlet set point. This control strategy is particularly valuable for protecting upstream equipment such as pumps, heat exchangers, and vessels from overpressure conditions. The Mark 50 modulates flow to a downstream vent or header, keeping the upstream system pressure within the desired operating band. Its compact form factor and direct acting mechanism make it a practical choice for lower flow back pressure applications where tight upstream pressure control is required.
Jordan Valve Mark 501/502 Series High Flow Back Pressure Regulator
The Mark 501/502 Series extends back pressure regulation capability to high flow service conditions. Like the Mark 50, it senses and controls upstream pressure by modulating outlet flow, but it is engineered for significantly greater flow capacity and higher pressure differentials. This makes it appropriate for large scale process systems where substantial volumetric throughput must be managed without sacrificing upstream pressure stability. Its robust construction supports reliable operation in demanding industrial environments where a lower capacity back pressure regulator would be undersized for the process load.
