First Claim
Patent Images
1. Variable resistance type valve throttling element comprising:
- a. a seatring having therewithin a continuous cylindrical bore, said seatring further having annular, non-cylindrical, inner wall surfaces at the opposite ends;
of and terminating said continuous cylindrical bore;
b. a cylindrical valve plug reciprocatingly and slidingly engaged within said cylindrical bore of the seatring, and having an outer cylindrical wall surface;
c. a number of throttling flow channels penetrating radially outward from said continuous cylindrical bore of the seatring, at least one said penetrating channel commencing near one said continuous bore terminating surface of said seatring, and all said channels terminating within said other continuous bore terminating surface of said seatring, the non-cylindrical extent of said other continuous bore terminating surface being radially outward from said continuous cylindrical seatring bore whereby said other terminating surface is not covered by the engaging of said cylindrical valve plug within said cylindrical seatring bore, said channels-terminating thereby establishing a number of openings within said other continuous bore terminating surface of said seatring to provide access for fluid in direction of the longitudinal plug axis, said channels adapted to be covered along their longitudinal axis by the outer cylindrical wall surface of the reciprocating plug, while said plug is slidingly engaged within the seatring bore, and said channels comprising one or more penetrating grooves extending circularly at least part way around the interface between the reciprocating plug and said seatring bore;
each groove provided with one or more communicating vertical passageways to the next groove, and said vertical passageways alternatively off-set to each other in the direction along the circumference of the seatring bore.

Abstract
A variable resistance type control valve throttling trim having high resistance, fluid energy absorbing passages formed and controlled between the intersection of a cylindrical valve plug slidable co-operating with a cylindrical valve seatring and wherein the number, length, area ratio and specific fluid resistance are a function of the engaged length of the cylindrical plug portion in respect to the seatring bore and wherein the fluid energy absorbing passages consist of a pattern of slots and grooves radially inwardly penetrating the cylindrical wall of said valve plug and/or radially outwardly penetrating the cylindrical inside wall of said seatring bore.
