Control Component Incorporated (CCI-Valve) was formed in 1961 by Richard
Self, to devise and create valves for high pressure industrial and chemical
processes, particularly liquid hydrogen and oxygen services. Due to the high value
of products and services, CCI-Valve has become a world leader in the valve and
flow control manufacturing industry. Imbedded in these control valves is a stem
seal. The function of this seal is to avoid major leaks of fluid between the
valve's stem and bonnet cavity. The current valve design used by CCI-Valve is liable
to leakage at the stem seal. This lack enables the transport of fugitive
emissions to the atmosphere. CCI-Valve is determined to correct this defect to
provide a higher quality product to its customers. A team comprised of
mechanical engineering students from the University of California Riverside was
allocated to design a test rig that will help CCI-Valve test diverse stem seal
designs. The significance for CCI-Valve to be competent to test stem seals
effectively is critical to the development of the seals growth.
