Clarke Valve Passes External Leakage Requirements of API 607 Fire Test – March 13, 2020
Clarke Valve, a Chevron Technology Ventures portfolio company, is excited to announce that the reliable, low-torque Shutter Valve has passed the external leakage requirements of the API 607 fire test, per the Chevron Control Valve Standard, ICM-SU-5102-C.3. During this test, the valve withstood a fire of 750 – 1000°C (1350 – 1800°F) for 30 minutes at 75% of the maximum working pressure, with zero leakage from the shell, and only 4mL/min leakage at the stem. After the test, the valve was also able to perform one full open and close cycle, per the test’s requirements.
We are thrilled to add this to the Shutter Valve’s extensive list of certifications, and our team is looking forward to achieving many more milestones this year!

First Control Valve to Achieve API 641 Certification
June 28, 2018
Clarke Valve announces the API 641 certification of its proprietary Shutter Valve design, the first control valve to achieve this certification of low fugitive-emission performance.
The API 641 standard 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.
