Curtiss-Wright’s Nuclear division announced today that its Brea, Calif. facility has received ISO 9001:2015 certification for its quality management system (QMS). This globally recognized certification allows the company to provide valves, vessels, actuators, control systems and engineering services for use in construction of next-generation Advanced Reactor (AR) and Small Module Reactor (SMR) designs, as well as currently operating domestic and international reactors.
“Curtiss-Wright is steadfast in our mission to support the future of nuclear power, and we recognize its critical role in achieving a carbon-free energy landscape,” said Kurt Mitchell, vice president and general amnager of Curtiss-Wright’s Nuclear and Valves divisions. “This ISO certification exemplifies our commitment to quality and our ability to fulfill the stringent requirements of the next generation of nuclear reactors.”

Solenoid Valves: Direct Acting vs. Pilot-Operated
While presenting in a recent VMA Valve Basics 101 Course in Houston, I found myself in a familiar role: explaining solenoid valves (SOVs) to attendees. (I work with solenoids so much that one VMA member at that conference joked that I needed to be wearing an I Heart Solenoids t-shirt). During the hands-on “petting zoo” portion of the program, which involves smaller groups of attendees, one of the most frequently asked questions I get from people came up: What’s the difference between direct-acting and pilot-operated SOVs, and how do we make a choice?
