Fire-resistant filler that meets API589 standards

2015-06-29View Original

Thread Content

The requirements for fire isolation valves are generally API607 + API589. Many valve manufacturers do not have API589 certification; to obtain this certification, is it sufficient to have the gasket manufacturer provide it?

That’s not possible; a valve is a complete device.

After researching API 589, it is possible to provide only fillers of different sizes/specifications for fire testing; the valve body & stuffing box are provided by the testing facility. Products available on the market are also supplied with a single filler and meet API 589 standards. So I think your view is correct; API 589 applies only to packers.
