Control Valve Trim avoids cavitation in high-pressure flow.September 17, 2002 - Offered in globe and angle body styles, pressure-balanced NotchFloâ„¢ DST control valve trim prevents clearance-flow problems in high-pressure liquid applications. Its longitudinal flow path incorporates pressure staging notches which achieve required pressure drop while avoiding conditions that would result in trim damage. Separation of shutoff and throttling locations prevent high pressure drops from occurring at trim seat at low flow conditions. Flow rangeability is rated 50:1.

Emerson's New Dirty Service Control Valve Trim Advances Performance of Fisher(R) Valves in High Pressure Liquid Applications
Fisher NotchFlo(TM) DST valve trim avoids cavitation as it controls high-pressure flow
MARSHALLTOWN, IOWA (August 22, 2002) -- Emerson Process Management today introduced Fisher NotchFlo DST control valve trim that prevents the cavitation and clearance-flow problems typical of high-pressure liquid applications within the power generation industry, in oilfield production use, and in refinery recirculation and letdown services.
The NotchFlo DST control valve trim features a longitudinal flow path that incorporates a series of pressure staging notches. The notches achieve the required pressure drop while avoiding conditions that would cause cavitation and result in trim damage.
The pressure staging design and separation of shutoff and throttling locations prevent high pressure drops from occurring at the trim seat when at low flow conditions. This avoids clearance flow erosion of the seat line, thereby extending the already long-term shutoff capability of the NotchFlo DST control valve trim.
As an added benefit, the relatively large flow passageway through the NotchFlo DST control valve trim design allows control of liquids with entrained solids. Flow rangeability is 50:1.
The NotchFlo DST control valve trim is pressure-balanced, which yields smoother operation and reduces actuator size requirements. The valve plug features a large-diameter stem for added rigidity against high-pressure conditions. NACE materials are available for corrosive applications.
The new NotchFlo DST control valve trim is offered in globe and angle body styles.
