Velocity Limitations
In selecting a valve for either a liquid or gas/vapour
application one of the major considerations is the effect of
fluid velocity. High velocity could lead to operational
problems including erosion, excessive vibration and
instability. The following tables indicate the maximum
recommended velocity values for liquid and gas/vapour
services.

Inherent Rangeability
The inherent rangeability of a control valve is the ratio
between maximum and minimum flow within the working
characteristic at constant pressure drop.

General Selection Information
The information detailed is intended to act as a general
guide, to assist in the selection of an Introl Series 12 control
valve.
Trim Cv Calculation
A full description of the procedures used for calculating the
Cv on various fluids is detailed in the Introl Sizing and
Selection Manual
Body Selection
Generally, the valve body must be capable of supporting the
selected trim design without producing excessive velocity
The following tables can be used as a guide for determining
the maximum recommended body velocities for liquid and
gas/vapour applications.
Liquid Service
The velocity guidelines detailed in Table 3 below, reflect the
normal inlet and outlet maximum velocities recommended
to eliminate body erosion and prevent trim instability. Other
factors may reduce the following figures further. Refer to
Introl sizing and selection manual.
Gas/Vapour Service
The velocity guidelines detailed in Table 4 below, reflect the
normal inlet and outlet maximum velocities relative to the
allowable noise levels.
Table 4. Recommended Maximum Inlet and Outlet Velocities for Gas/Vapour Service

Inherent Flow Characteristics
The inherent flow characteristics of a control valve is the
relationship between in the flow and the valve travel at
constant pressure drop. As with all caged multihole trims the

Classic 20 - Features
General.
The Classic Series 20 valve developed by Kent lntrol, will in its basic
form satisfy the majority of general control valve applications where
tight shut-off is not an essential requirement. The construction of this
range of valves is of a simple form using the traditional top and
bottom guided trim philosophy. For high pressure drop applications
the range can be fitted with the High Friction trim design.
Performance:
■■ High flow capacity.
■■ Excellent flow control rangeability.
■■ Cast globe type body proportioned to withstand high pipe
stresses.
■■ Minimum differential plug areas to reduce actuator force
requirements.
Design Flexibility:
■■ Optional anti-cavitation/low noise trim option for high pressure
drop applications.
■■ Inherently characterised trim offered in equal percentage or
linear.
■■ All trim components removable from the top for ease of
maintenance.
■■ Multi trim sizes available.
■■ Full range of body and trim material options.
■■ Fully rationalised and interchangeable features.
■■ Full range of bonnet and packing designs to suit various
application requirements.
Design Integrity:
■■ Heavy duty top and bottom guided construction.
■■ Large diameter stems.
■■ Generously proportioned seat rings screwed into body to
ensure a leak proof joint.
Quality Manufacturing:
■■ Rigorously tested to ensure specified performance on site.
■■ Quality assurance systems certified to BS 5750 Part 1 1987,
IS0 9001 1987, EN 29001/1987, Certificate No. Q5081.
■■ Optional full NACE MR-01-75 certification.

Direction of Flow:
See Figure 6.
Degree of shut-off:
Up to Class V with resilient seal construction. Temperature
limitation maximum 250°C.
Max. differential pressure at shut-off:
Balanced plug gives potential for high differential pressure
shut-off using Introl Actuator range.
Inherent Rangeability:
The inherent rangeability of a valve trim is dependent on a
number of factors including size and style. The values
detailed in Table 1 below provide a general guideline to the
maximum achievable values.

/4”-3/4” 33:1
1”-3” 48:1
4”-12” 65:1
Plug Characteristic:
The inherent flow characteristic of the control valve is the
relationship between the flow and lift of the plug at a
constant pressure drop.
The characteristic of the linear “V” port used on both the
Series 30 and 31 valve plug heads is shown in Fig. 6.

• Bonnets
Where fluid working temperatures of above 250°C or
below 0°C are specified, normalising bonnets are
recommended to protect the packing against extremes
of temperature. In both cases the standard form of
connection is the bolted bonnet arrangement.
• W Bellows Seal Bonnet
Bellows seal valves ensure absolute sealing within their
rated pressure and temperature ranges. An auxiliary
packing box in the upper bonnet serves as an
emergency seal in the unlikely event of bellows failure.
• Diverting Duties
The Introl Series 30 valve fitted with the Introl Actuator
may be used for selected diverting duty as shown in
Table 7.
• Packing
A full range of packing materials are available.
