API6D / Q1 Certification

At Habonim, we pride ourselves on keeping our performance at the highest possible level.

As such, we focus on manufacturing our ball valves to the highest possible standards. The American Petroleum Institute (API) has once again awarded us a Certificate of Authority for API-6D (No: 6D-1278). This accomplishment ensures that every customer using our ball valves can be rest assured our valves meet the manufacturing quality required by the API-6D certification.

TPED-certified

Habonim now holds EU TPED certification for pressure equipment installed on portable means of transport.

It’s quite an achievement — very few companies worldwide hold this certification for cryogenic and high-pressure valves. This certification allows the use of Habonim cryogenic and high-pressure valves in Small Scale LNG applications such as inland transportation using varied means of transport.

Launch of BERESHEET

Habonim is proud to have played a small part in the launch of the Israeli space craft into space

Our high pressure valves were used to fuel the SpaceX rockets that sent the spacecraft on the first leg of its landmark journey to the moon.

Habonim's HermetiX™ fire safe stem seal is now certified for API641

Comply to fugitive emission standards

We are happy to announce that Habonim’s HermetiX™ fire safe stem seal passed the API 641 type test protocol, and it is now certified to the API 641 “type testing of quarter-turn valves for fugitive emissions” standard.

We are happy to announce that Habonim’s HermetiX™ fire safe stem seal passed the API 641 type test protocol, and it is now certified to the API 641 “type testing of quarter-turn valves for fugitive emissions” standard.

The valves were tested under TUV supervision by an independent third party. The valves were subjected to 600 psi (41.4 bar g) Methane gas pressure, 610 mechanical cycles, and three thermal cycles (ambient to 500⁰F / 260⁰C), as per “Group A” of the API 641 standard. All valves passed the stringent API 641 test protocol successfully, with a measured leak rate of less than 100 ppmv.
