About Company

The Norriseal Controls Division started in 1962 with the acquisition of Parks Equipment Company by Dover Corporation. Inventor Asbury Parks started Parks Equipment Company in a garage in 1955. The operation grew within a year to a 6,000 square foot facility. Mr. Parks was a problem-solver and visionary who obtained many patents. He pioneered improved methods for water/oil/gas separation and measurement. Among Mr. Parks' patents was the Non-Bleed Pilot still used in Norriseal Liquid Level Controls, 1001A, 1001XL and 1100A. Norriseal is an industry-recognized name for quality oil and gas production products. The company started with Series 1000 Liquid Level Controls, Series 2000 HP 2-Way Dump Valves, Series 2070 LP 2-Way Dump Valve, Series 3001 LP 3-Way Valves, Series 3020/3030 HP 3-Way Valves, Series 4000 Pressure Controllers and Series 5000 Temperature Controls. Unique features for these were the Non-Bleed, Force-Balanced Pilot and the Hammer Nut Bonnet Closure for valves. Key valve and control developments: The Series 1000 Liquid Level Controller was redesigned in 1963 and introduced as the Series 1001. It continued to incorporate the patented non-bleed, force-balanced pilot feature. The Series 2200/2220 HP Control Valve was developed in 1966 featuring the Hammer Nut Bonnet Closure. The Series 2700 Control Valve was developed in 1970, introducing the Bolted Bonnet Closure and Balanced Characterized Valve Plug. Norriseal received the "Meritorious Award for Engineering Innovation" from Petroleum Engineer Magazine in 1971 for the Series 2700 Balanced Plug Trim design. The Series 1001A Liquid Level Controller was introduced in 1975 to parallel the Series 1001. Enhancements included a sealed case and cover, rugged internals for vibration application (compressor systems), and special material for marine environments (offshore salt atmosphere). The Series 7100 Flo-Lift® Piston Check Valve was introduced in 1979, utilizing the Series 2700 bodies and trim components and adding the Non-Slam Piston and Bonnet Closure. In 1980, Norriseal provided all the valves and controls used on the Thistle Platform located off the coast at Aberdeen, Scotland in the North Sea. Norriseal received the "Meritorious Award for Engineering Innovation" in 1981 from Petroleum Engineer Magazine for the Series 7100 Non-Slam Piston design, presented at the 1981 Offshore Technology Conference. In 1986, Norriseal received an API 6D Certification to display the API monogram on Norriseal Flo-Lift® Piston Check Valves. The Norriseal facility was enlarged to 62,500 square feet in 1990. The Norris butterfly product line was moved and merged with the Norriseal Houston operation in 1993, creating the current Norriseal company. In 1994, Norriseal received ISO 9001 accreditation.
