CavStream

CavStream

CavStream valve trim lowers cavitation damage by controlling the location and concentration of cavitation vapor bubble implosion in an area away from metal parts. CavStream trim utilizes a number of small, diametrically opposed flow holes through the walls of a special plug.

Tolerates Sigma as low as 1.2.

Uses the same technology as CavControl to control cavitation, except the holes are drilled into a special close-guided plug head rather than in the seat retainer.

Impinging jets create a column of cavitation in the center of the plug head, keeping the bubbles away from metal surfaces.

Same performance as CavControl with much lower capacities.

Flow characteristics of trim can be modified through porting size.
