a Fisher valve solution.
Cavitating Liquid -
Cavitrol™ III trim contains a multitude
of specially shaped holes that reduce
flow turbulence. The holes are
radially aligned to flow from one
restriction to another. Both features
dissipate the fluid pressure and
prevent cavitation.

Outgassing -
Dirty Service Trim for Outgassing
(DST-G) is used in services where
the fluid has dissolved gases that
are released from solution due to a
reduction in pressure. DST-G trim
allows large 6.35 mm (¼-inch)
particulate to pass.
Drilled Hole Noise Trim -
Whisper Trim™ III is a drilled hole
trim available in a variety of control
valve sizes and styles. It delivers
excellent noise reduction. The design
architecture even allows for flexibility

Cavitating Dirty Flow -
NotchFlo™ DST trim uses a series of
flow restrictions and expansions to
control the pressure drop of the fluid.
The notched plug allows up to 12 mm
(½-inch) particulate to flow through
the trim without plugging.
Stacked Disk Noise Trim -
WhisperFlo™ trim offers state-of-the-art noise attenuation in vapor, gas, or steam applications involving
high pressure drops. It is a laser cut,
stacked-disk cage assembly that is
available in globe and angle bodies
for the most severe applications.
Cavitating Dirty Flow, Customized -
Dirty Service Trim (DST) provides
cavitation-control for applications
with entrained particulate. It uses a
combined axial and radial flow path
that features large openings allowing
particulate up to 19 mm (¾-inch) in
diameter to pass through the valve.
Slotted Noise Trim -
Whisper Trim I offers proven
attenuation of aerodynamic noise
in vapor, gas, or steam applications
involving low to medium pressure
drops. It offers economical,
dependable noise attenuation. It
offers great application flexibility.
Large Pressure Drops -
Each of the Cavitrol IV trim stages
has a successively large flow area.
The results is very efficient operation
because more than 90 percent of
the overall pressure drop is taken in
the initial stages where there is little
danger of cavity formation.
Diffusers -
The 6010 inline diffuser places
back pressure on the control valve,
thereby reducing the turbulence and
pressure drop across the valve, which
are main contributors in damaging
noise and vibration.
