“Industrial valves – Measurement, test and qualification procedures for fugitive emissions” outlines the testing requirements for control valves and isolation valves. Control valves must cycle from 40% open to 60% open more than 100,000 times to achieve a CC3 endurance rating, and must allow less than 50 parts per million by volume leakage of methane to achieve the Class AM tightness rating.

The American Petroleum Institute (API) 641 standard, “Type Testing of Quarter-Turn Valves for Fugitive Emissions,” applies to all stem seal materials, and requires a stringent maximum allowable leakage of 100 parts per million by volume (PPMv). This API test standard calls for 610 cycles of the valve under extreme temperature fluctuations to evaluate emissions performance over an accelerated life cycle.
