Valve Packing Type Test (API 622): Why It Matters

Oct,08,2026 << Return list

API 622 fugitive emission testing mainly detects the invisible micro-leakage at the valve packing and the body gasket. The body gasket is a static seal, which easily meets the fugitive emission requirements, while the packing is a dynamic seal, which is harder to meet the standard.

Therefore, the fugitive emission level of a valve is mainly evaluated by testing the leakage at the packing. The API 622 standard emphasizes the fugitive emission type test of the packing, which can be carried out on a test fixture or on the valve itself.
