Guide to Trim Options Available Figure 1. Contoured Trim

Standard Duty
For standard duty applications there is the option of
Contoured trim (Figure 1) or
Cage Guided trim (Figures 2 and 3)

Trim Design Options:

Contoured & Cage Guided trims have Full and reduced
trim capacity.

Characteristics Available:
Inherent Modified Equal Percentage (Equal Percentage
& Linear available with characterised positioner)

Plug Options: Figure 2. High Friction Cage Trim illustrated with Balanced
Unbalanced Contoured Trim. Plug

Unbalanced Cage Guided (1” to 4” Valves) or

Balanced Metal/Metal Cage Guided (1.1/2” to 4” valves)
with Resilient or Graphite piston rings.
Soft seats are available for bubble tight shut off.

Direction of Flow:
Recommended flow under for both liquids and gas of
Contoured trims.
Flow over the plug for liquids & flow under for gases of
Cage Guided trims.

Severe Duty:
The High Friction (HF) trims are suitable for high Figure 3. High Friction HF trim illustrated with Solid Plug

pressure drop applications to prevent the onset of

cavitation and reduce the noise levels generated as the
result of both gas/vapour and liquid flows.

General Selection information

The information detailed is intended to act as a general guide, to assist in the selection of a Series 14 Valve

Trim Cv Calculation
A full set of procedures for calculating the Cv with various fluids is detailed in the Sizing and Selection Manual.
Please contact the nearest Sales Office for your copy.

Body Selection
The valve body must be capable of supporting the selected trim without producing excessive velocities. The following
tables can be used as a guide for determining the maximum recommended body velocities for both liquid and gas/
vapour applications.

Liquid Service
The velocities detailed in Table 3. below reflect the normal inlet and outlet maximum velocities recommended to
eliminate body erosion and prevent trim instability. Other factors may reduce the following figures further.
Refer to Sizing and Selection Manual for further details.
Table 3. Recommended maximum inlet and Outlet Velocities Liquid Service

Gas/Vapour Service
These velocities avoid problems of vibration and body erosion. Where noise levels are a consideration velocities
should be restricted to the relevant Mach numbers.

Trim Inherent Rangeability

The inherent rangeability of a valve trim is dependant on a number of factors including size and style. The values
detailed in Table 5. provide a general guideline to the maximum achievable values.

Maximum Leakage Rates

Leakage rates are normally measured in accordance with the ANSI/FCI 70-2-1976 specification using the class
designation.
The following Table 6. defines the achievable leakage class for each available plug designs.
