The External
Sleeve type trim uses a flow sleeve moving over the outside
of a ported cage to control flow. A metal to metal seat design
on the outside of the flow sleeve and out of the high velocity
flow assures positive shut off and an extended seat life.
The controlling element (flow sleeve) moves
in a lower velocity regime and leads to the high erosion resistance
of this trim design. Applications of these chokes include
high pressure drops, and fluids with entrained solids such
as formation sands.
This trim is furnished in Tungsten Carbide
with a equal percentage characteristic. |
