The world’s most compact, efficient, and environmentally responsible control valve has achieved yet another performance benchmark, completing over 100,000 mechanical cycles while consistently surpassing the most stringent standard for fugitive methane emissions.
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.
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.
