2012 Business Overview

Flow Control

The Flow Control segment specializes in the design and manufacture of highly engineered, critical-function valves, pumps, motors, generators, instrumentation, shipboard systems, vessels, and control electronics that manage the flow of liquids and gases, generate power, serve as electronic operating systems, and monitor or provide other critical functions. Markets include:

Naval Defense

Design, manufacture, qualify, and support complex components and systems critical to naval ships. We supply pumps, valves, motors, generators and control systems integral to the propulsion systems of most of the U.S. Navy’s most advanced ships and submarines. We provide components and systems critical to the safe handling, storage, launching, and recovery of aircraft on board aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, and other ships worldwide. We provide integral motor propulsors, cable and towed-array handling systems, valves, and actuators used on a variety of ships and submarines throughout the world.

Power Generation

Engineered solutions supporting critical components, systems integration, equipment qualification and dedication, and related services that set the standard for safety, quality and high performance on operating reactors and for new plant construction. Products for safety-related applications include isolation and control valves, main steam safety relief valves, pressure regulators, and severe service motor-operated valves. Obsolescence solutions, diagnostic equipment, and engineering, testing, and inspection services support improved plant performance and operability.

Oil and Gas

Design and manufacture of valves, heavy-wall pressure vessels, valve automation and control systems, coke drum unheading systems and fluidic catalytic cracking unit components. Specialized valves and web- enabled software that control the flow of liquids and gases provide solutions to protect life and property against incidents, including accidental over-pressurization of equipment. Plug technology for sealing leaking heat exchanger tubes, testing equipment for open-end pipes, tubes, and pressure vessels. Customized, highly engineered production, processing, and environmental equipment and solutions essential to the production of oil and gas, and various fracking applications. Specialized valves that control the flow of liquids and gases and prevent over-pressurization of equipment.

General Industrial

Motor control products and custom control panel solutions that include a variety of low- and medium-voltage components, such as starters, drives, contactors, breakers, and other related devices. Airport-based commercial aircraft handling systems.
