Curtiss-Wright has partnered with Ringo Valves to provide the US nuclear power market with control valves. Located in Zaragoza, Spain, Ringo valves has designed and manufactured their cast and forged valves for over 30 years. Their high QA standards, including ANSI and ASME, make them an international leader in the valve industry, and Ringo prides itself on providing only the highest level of valve technology. Available in a variety of sizes, valve types, and materials, Ringo valves provide a wide range of solutions to any problem.
Control valves function differently than other valves; rather than shutting off or turning on the flow in a system, they modulate the pressure or flow rate moving through a system. This can be a stressful job for many valves, since the process of reducing pressure and flow generates things like heat, turbulence, vibration, noise and component wear. However, Ringo's cage guided design is built for these heavy-duty applications, using a cage to reduce some of the negative impacts of reducing flow and pressure. Curtiss-Wright provides Ringo's Cage Guided control valve designs for nuclear applications.
