Kofloc 6800 Back Pressure Regulator for Gas

Kofloc 6800 Series Back Pressure Regulator maintains a constant upstream or primary-side gas pressure by releasing excess gas when the pressure exceeds its set value.

Its compact, greaseless design is suitable for panel-mounted gas systems, tank-pressure regulation and constant discharge-flow applications.

  • Primary-side pressure setting from 0.01 to 0.6 MPa(G)
  • Maximum gas flow options of 0.8, 1 or 10 L/min
  • Fast upstream-pressure regulation
  • Compact panel-mount configuration
  • Aluminium/brass or stainless-steel wetted construction
  • Rc 1/4 standard connection with Rc 1/8 option
  • RoHS compliant

Kofloc 6800 Back Pressure Regulator

The Kofloc Model 6800 Series is a compact back pressure regulator designed to maintain constant pressure on the upstream or primary side of a gas system.

When upstream pressure rises above the selected setting, the valve opens to release gas. As the pressure returns to the set value, the valve reduces the discharge flow. This makes the 6800 suitable for tank-pressure control, gas-mixing equipment and low-flow process systems.

Key Features

  • Maintains constant upstream or primary-side gas pressure
  • Pressure-setting range from 0.01 to 0.6 MPa(G)
  • Maximum gas flow options of 0.8, 1 or 10 L/min
  • Fast response to upstream-pressure changes
  • Compact design for panel mounting
  • Grease-free construction for clean gas control
  • Standard and stainless-steel wetted-material options
  • RoHS compliant

Back Pressure Regulator Operating Principle

A back pressure regulator controls the pressure before the valve. It is normally installed downstream of the vessel, tank or process whose pressure must be maintained.

Operating conditionRegulator response
Upstream pressure is below the set value The valve remains closed or restricts the gas discharge.
Upstream pressure reaches the set value The valve begins regulating the discharge flow.
Upstream pressure exceeds the set value The valve opens further to release gas and restore the selected pressure.

Back Pressure Regulator vs Pressure-Reducing Regulator

Regulator typeControlled pressureInstallation position
Back pressure regulator Upstream or primary-side pressure Installed after the vessel or process being controlled
Pressure-reducing regulator Downstream or secondary-side pressure Installed before the equipment receiving the regulated gas

The Kofloc 6800 is a back pressure regulator. It is not intended to operate as a conventional downstream pressure-reducing regulator.

Kofloc 6800 Model Selection

ModelPrimary-side pressure settingMaximum gas flow
6800A 0.01 to 0.3 MPa(G) 1 L/min
6800B 0.01 to 0.6 MPa(G) 0.8 L/min
6800AL 0.01 to 0.3 MPa(G) 10 L/min
6800BL 0.01 to 0.6 MPa(G) 10 L/min

Select the model according to the required upstream pressure, discharge-flow capacity, gas compatibility and wetted materials.

Standard construction Aluminium, brass, NBR and engineering resin General compatible gas applications
Stainless-steel construction SUS316, FKM and fluorocarbon resin Applications requiring stainless-steel wetted parts or different chemical compatibility

Confirm compatibility between the process gas and all wetted materials before ordering. Gas composition, concentration, temperature and operating pressure can affect material suitability.

Typical Applications

  • Tank and vessel pressure control
  • Constant discharge of mixed gas
  • Gas analyser sampling systems
  • Laboratory gas-handling equipment
  • Gas blending and mixing systems
  • Purge-gas control
  • Instrument panels and test equipment
  • Low-flow process-gas systems

Information Required for Selection

  • Process gas or gas composition
  • Required upstream pressure setting
  • Normal and maximum inlet pressure
  • Required discharge-flow capacity
  • Downstream pressure or discharge condition
  • Operating temperature
  • Required process connection
  • Preferred wetted-material construction
  • Panel-mounting requirements

Important Safety Note

The Kofloc 6800 is intended for process back-pressure regulation. It must not be used as a certified emergency pressure-relief or safety valve unless its suitability and required approvals have been confirmed for the specific installation.
