<strong>Valtek</strong> <strong>Severe</strong> <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Equipment</strong>MicroCav TrimIntroductionMicroCav trim is used to effectively handle cavitation in<strong>Valtek</strong> control valves that require small flow rates (maximumC Vvalues from 1.25 to 0.007). To effectivelyprevent cavitation damage, the preferred application iswith an angle-style valve body with hardened trim. Aslightly modified design can also be used on a limitedbasis for globe valve applications.DesignThe MicroCav design utilizes a special plug that isclosely guided within the seat ring. The plug head isdesigned with a series of special-engineered groovesthat continually expand as they progress diagonallyalong the length and around the circumference of theplug head (Figures 19 and 20) — allowing the groovesto continually intersect with each other. The fluid passesthrough the grooves, experiencing a continual increasein flow area while allowing for staged pressure reduction.Staged pressure reduction takes place as the fluidimpinges upon itself when the grooves intersect.Flow CharacteristicMicroCav trim has a modified equal percentage characteristicand a 40 to 1 rangeability.Table 8: MicroCav Trim Materials ofConstructionTrim Part Available MaterialsPlug 400 series stainless steel, solid Alloy 6Seat Ring 400 series stainless steel, solid Alloy 6Figure 19: MicroCav Plug UsesExpanding Grooves to Control CavitationSee <strong>Valtek</strong> Mark One Control Valves technical bulletin for basicvalve’s materials of construction.Table 9: MicroCav Trim C VValuesMaxC Trim No.VStrokeMaxC Trim No.VStroke1.25*1.25A 1.500.1200.50F 0.751.00*1.25B 1.500.1000.50G 0.750.80*1.00A 1.500.0800.50H 0.750.70*1.00B 1.500.0700.38A 0.750.500.69A 1.000.0500.38B 0.750.420.69B 1.000.0400.38C 0.500.350.69C 0.750.0300.38D 0.500.300.50A 0.750.0200.38E 0.500.250.50B 0.750.0150.38F 0.500.210.50C 0.750.0100.38G 0.500.180.50D 0.750.0070.38H 0.050.150.50E 0.75*Requires 1.5 - 2-inch valve.Figure 20: MicroCav Trim DesignFlowserve Corporation, <strong>Valtek</strong> Control Products, Tel.
