Multi-stage trim technology

Multi-stage Trim Technology

Our Multi-Stage Trims can help manage high pressure drops and avoid cavitation. The range includes various options offering up to 30 stages of pressure drop and the ability to manage high levels of rangeability. We’ve refined and developed our range of multi-stage valve trims to ensure that they meets the needs and complexities of just about any high pressure drop application.

High pressure drop applications

Applications with significant pressure drops will always come with a high risk of cavitation. We’ve developed a number of innovative trims to help avoid the significant damage it can cause in severe service applications. Multi-stage trims stage the pressure drop gradually to help eliminate the build-up of vapour that can cause cavitation.

Our base range of multi-stage trims - the HF/HFL range - can manage pressure drops through up to 5 stages of let-down, and are suitable for many more straightforward applications. For more demanding applications, our Vector Multistage trim features stacked discs which create a labyrinth for the flows to pass through and can manage pressure drops of up to 30 stages.

Multispline trim

For applications with a low flow coefficient, our Multispline trim is more suitable. It features a very close tolerance plug and seat arrangement, with a gradually increasing slot which gives the flow control. By stacking these trims it is possible to achieve a cascade arrangement with a multistage Microspline trim design. A labyrinth trim - such as our Vector trim - is not feasible for such small flow passages. However the multi-spline trim can stage the pressure drop effectively despite the low flow coefficient.
