- What is trim?
Trim is composed of stem, seat surfaces, back seat bushing and other small internal parts that normally contact the surface fluid.
- Which standard specifies trim numbers for valve ?
API 600.
- What are wetted parts of valve?
All parts that come in contact with surface fluid are called wetted parts.
- What is wire drawing?
This term is used to indicate the premature erosion of the valve seat caused by excessive velocity between seat and seat disc, when valve is not closed tightly.
