As a part of the strategy of increasing the synergies between Ringo Válvulas and the Samson subsidiaries all over the world, some Samson offices (those where there is a high potential market for the Ringo Válvulas products) have been appointed as key sales points: Spain, Italy, Norway, Japan, China, UAE, Latin American and USA Samson offices. In order to provide these Samson subsidiaries with the proper information and tools to support Ringo Válvulas, training was held from 13th to 17th at Ringo premises and was attended by the key person in each office – nominated as the Product Champion.
Program of the Technical Course included the following topics:
- ON/OFF Valves Training: ball, gate, globe, check and butterfly
- Control Valves Training: Globe Cage guided type, Axial and rotary (ball and butterfly)
- Engineering and design process, standardization, software tools
- Ringo Quality Assurance & Documentation Management
- Factory tour
- Ringo Válvulas solution to Severe/Critical applications
- Assembly of a Control Valve under the presence of the attendees
- Practical course of sizing/selection of proper Ringo Válvulas trim type for control valves
Main part of the course was focused in the Ringo Control Valves sizing: more than 2 days of the training were used for this purpose.
Technical Training was successfully completed and fulfilled its main aims:
- To make all the attendees understand all the Ringo products (on-off and control valves) and their different technical features.
- To let the attendees know the main strengths of Ringo to understand the type of products / applications where to focus the sales efforts: large sizes, high pressures and temperatures, actuated, exotic materials, upstream, offshore, subsea, anti-surge, oxygen service, steam desuperheaters and HIPPS.
- Finally, the most important one: to train all the attendees in selecting and sizing the different trim types of the Ringo Válvulas Control Valves
Ringo Válvulas would like to thank all the members of the Product Champions Team as well as the Application and Engineering Support Department from Samson AG their participation in the Technical Training and, of course, the interest shown during the development of the same.
