Abstract: Low distortion seat ring assemblies for use with fluid valves are disclosed. An example seat ring assembly includes a seat ring having an outer circumferential surface and a shoulder extending about at least a portion of the outer circumferential surface. The shoulder includes a first surface configured to form a seal against a valve body and a second surface substantially opposite the first surface. The seat ring assembly also includes a seat ring retainer configured to be attached to the valve body and to apply a force to the second surface to hold the first surface to form the seal against the valve body.
