Low Emission Valve Gaskets

Low-emission gaskets play a vital role in the oil and gas industry by significantly reducing fugitive emissions and helping operators meet strict environmental regulations. These regulations include standards such as API 622, ISO 15848-1, TA-LUFT, API 624, and API 641, which establish rigorous testing protocols for evaluating the emission control performance of valves and associated components. Typically designed as spiral wound gaskets, these specialized products incorporate an enhanced sealing element that is thicker than conventional versions. This increased thickness—achieved through precise control of filler protrusion and density—improves sealing integrity, providing a more robust barrier against leaks and emissions.
