Control Valve Trim Design and Manufacturing.

ORBITRIM develops application-specific trim solutions for control valves, from simple plug-type trims to multi-stage, multi-path designs for severe-service applications.

When A Control Valve Becomes The Problem

The problems we engineer around

Cavitation

Vapor bubbles form and collapse as pressure falls and recovers through the trim.

Erosion

High-velocity flow and particles progressively wear the trim.

Noise

Turbulent liquid flow, flashing, or high-velocity gas flow can push valve noise beyond acceptable limits.

Vibration

Fluctuating forces and pressure pulsations can excite the trim, valve or connected piping.

Poor flow control

The valve does not provide predictable flow control across its operating range.

Limited turndown

The valve cannot maintain the required control from maximum flow down to the minimum required operating flow.

Replacing a control valve can mean major engineering work, plant shutdowns, piping changes and high costs. In many applications, the valve body is still in good condition—the problem is with the internal trim. ORBITRIM designs and manufactures replacement trim to improve how the valve handles pressure, velocity and flow, helping address cavitation, noise, vibration and other performance issues without replacing the complete valve.
