Low Emission Valve Gaskets

Low emission gaskets are critical components in the oil and gas industry, designed to minimize fugitive emissions and ensure compliance with stringent environmental standards. These standards include API 622, ISO 15848-1, TA-LUFT, API 624, and API 641, each providing specific guidelines and testing procedures for evaluating the performance of valves and their components in controlling emissions. These gaskets are typically spiral wound and feature a specialized sealing element that is thicker than standard designs. The thicker sealing element, achieved through precise control of filler protrusion and thickness, enhances the sealing performance and ensures a more effective barrier against emissions.
