Clarke Valve announces the API 641 certification of its proprietary Dilating Disk™ Valve design, the first control valve to achieve this certification of low fugitive-emission performance.

28 Jul: Clarke Valve Announces General Availability of World’s First ¼” Control Valve

Today, Clarke Valve announced immediate availability of the ¼” Dilating Disk™ Valve marking the first time in history that a valve this size offers both Class 6 bubble-tight shut off to 3,600 PSI and precise flow control from a fine mist up to full bore.

Previously, customers were forced to use small diameter ball valves which were not designed for flow control in ¼” lines.  Typically, these valves were used for on/off service but usually ended up in a partial open state creating excessive turbulence and cavitation.
