- Trim Design - Ported Cage with Internal Plug trim design is available with customized characteristics. The flow passing across the cage impinges on itself and so turbulence and throttling wear are dissipated in the centre of the valve and not on valve outlet. The valve is provided with spacer. Valve Trim is always fully-customized in order to perfectly comply to the given process conditions.
- Erosion Resistant Trim - Valve Trim in Solid Tungsten Carbide to provide the best erosion resistance
- Metal To Metal Sealing - Without soft parts it is improved sealing performance with any process fluid
- Position Indicator - AISI 316 SS Engraved Position Indicator available in Micrometric or Bean Size (1/64") scale
- Locking Device - Stem Locking device provides safe valve positioning and holding the set point
- No Threads In Valve Body - Trim Components are not Screwed in the Valve Body in order to facilitate disassembly
- Proprietary Stem Packing Design - QUAM experience have been put in a special Stem Packing design for Smooth Operation, long life service and low emissions
- Heavy Duty Thrust Bearings - High performance Thrusth Bearings allow less load on the handwheel and easy operation
- Exceed PR-2 Requirements - Multistage Choke Valves -D/M Series performance exceed API-6A PR-2 requirements
- Exceptional Flow Control - Valve Trim is designed to perform an accurate Flow Control thanks to a variable number of pressure reduction stages
- Customized End To End Dimensions - The possibility to customize end to end dimensions allow the users an easy repalcement without pipeworks
- Heavy Duty Construction - Valve is specially designed to improve reliability, Italian origin of Forging materials is the guarantee of Valve quality
