Parker receives ISO 15848-1 Class C fugitive emission certification for industrial ball and needle valves
Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, is unveiling a series of valves tested to ISO 15848-1 Class C, a standard that sets out the measurement, test and qualification procedures for fugitive emissions from industrial valves.
The Class C valves complement Parker’s existing solutions for the more stringent Class A and B leak rate designations, whilst minimising investment required by the customer. An independent test house witnessed and certified the full factory tests accordingly.
For companies operating in the chemical, petrochemical or natural gas industries, the reasons for minimising emissions to the atmosphere from industrial valves include:
- Environmental targets
- Government regulations
- Plant/worker safety

FULLY INTEGRATED TUBING CONNECTIONS FURTHER REDUCE PLANT EMISSIONS
Fully integrated tubing connections utilising single ferrule CPITM or two ferrule A-LOK® technologies not only facilitate rapid installation, but also eliminate the need for taper threads and thread sealant and, in turn, the potential for an external leak path, further reducing overall plant emissions.
