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
