Fugitive emission Testing companies?
Fugitive emission Testing companies?
(OP)
We are a valve distribution company in Houston.
We often get orders from customers which require the the valves to be fugitive emission test qualified.
we are looking to get few of our valves FE prototype tested.
I have contacted these companies,
- United valve
- Yarmouth Research and technology
- Southwest Research Institute
they were too expensive.
Can someone please give me list of companies around Houston or anywhere in US that offer FE testing?
It will be a great help.

I'm not as familiar with Southwest other than I've heard the name.
I will say if you have a quote from those places you have a pretty accurate cost of the testing. Depending on what test your looking to run FE testing is pretty time consuming and expensive to set up.
If your going to be doing a lot of testing your other option is to build a test rig. API 622 is currently under revision and one of the things being kicked around to be added is a method of FE testing the packing in the valve.

Are you aware of any other facilities that I contact for FE prototype testing?
The reason I want to conduct a survey is that the price variation is a way too much between the 3 companies I mentioned above.

back in the mid 90's we did some testing at TEAM environmental services in Alvin TX. I think they were a branch of TEAM industrial however I don't know if they still do this type of testing:

Your best bet for reducing the cost is to challenge the test standard and push for a more cost effective method.
