Description
Fisher NPS 12 through 16 and NPS 30 CL150 through CL600 ET and ED control valves are used for either throttling or
on-off control of a wide variety of liquids and gasses.
ET valves with a hanging cage are available for demanding applications in oil and natural gas up to 232
_
C (450
_
F). The
hanging cage, with the seat ring threaded into the cage, provides the valve with easy
maintenance trim. The seal
between the plug and cage and the seal between the seat ring and body are spring
loaded PTFE. The spring
loaded
PTFE seal configuration can provide Class V shutoff per ANSI/FCI 70
2 and IEC 60534
4. The temperature range can be
extended to 316
_
C (600
_
F) for non
oxidizing service and to 260
_
C (500
_
F) for oxidizing service by using PEEK (Poly
Ether Ether Ketone) anti
extrusion rings in combination with the spring
loaded PTFE seals.
ED valves also utilize a hanging cage and a seat ring that is bolted into the body. These valves have metal
to
metal
seating and two graphite piston rings between the cage and plug. They are used for high temperature applications
between 316
_
C (600
_
F) and 593
_
C (1100
_
F) with a Class IV standard shutoff. Shutoff can be increased to Class V by
using the Bore seal trim.
To help reduce aerodynamic noise in gas service, Whisper Trim III and WhisperFlo cages are available. Cavitrol III cages
are available to eliminate the effects of liquid cavitation damage and DST, Dirty Service Trim, is available for cavitating
liquid with particulates.
Fisher WhisperFlo trim represents state of the art solutions for applications that demand ultimate aerodynamic noise
attenuation.
