CG CASCADE TRIM
Cage guided trim illustrated in Fig 3 has the characteristics described above, moreover xFZ factor is constant along all the travel. As a result, the cage guided cascade trim ensures the absence of risks related to cavitation at any flow rate. The design of cage guided trim makes it suitable for large seat diameters, up to 90 mm, achieving Cv values up to 100. Balanced and unbalanced versions are both available and they can be employed on straight way bodies (LTG6) or angle bodies too (LTA6). Due to the width of the passages and the self-cleaning effect of the plug shape (shearing action) this trim is particularly suitable for severe service conditions (dirty, sticking and slightly abrasive fluids) for which multicage trim (MPS) or labyrinth trim (MPL) should be avoided because of the risk of clogging.
