840 Series

840 Series
The 840 series cage-guided valve is specially designed using
recent advances in control valve technology. It is used to
control a wide variety of relatively clean liquids and gases at high
pressure differentials. Configured with either flow-to-open or flowto-close trims, the valve is well suited for steam, gas or liquids,
where flow-to-close is typically used for liquid service, and flow-toopen for steam and gas. The design of the 840H (drilled-hole-cage)
valve is primarily used for severe service applications requiring
anti-cavitation or low-noise trim. In most cases, high pressure drop
in process conditions may cause erosion, noise or vibration, which
can affect process control. The 840H is a good solution to this
severe service application.

Key features
The 840 series valve is flexible, allowing
a variety of trim types to be installed in
the body. In addition, its cage-guided
construction reduces plug vibration and
provides stable performance throughout
travel. All 840 trims have a quick change
design to guarantee convenient repair and
easy trim replacement.
> Multi-spring
- Multi-spring design allows very low
hysteresis and dead band.
> Proven trim design
- Single P-port, multi-step, V-notch
type cage.

> Fail mode

- Fail-to-close on loss of air is standard.
- Fail-to-open on loss of air is also
available.
- Diaphragm, piston, hydraulic and
electric actuation available.
> Quick change trim
- All internal parts can be inspected easily
by removing bonnet and cage.
> Accessories
- A full range are available to meet
requirements.

Benefits
> Tight shutoff
A variety of shutoff classes from ANSI IV
through VI are available to meet
application requirements
> Easy maintenance
Top-entry design and a cage-retained
seat ring allow for quick inspection or
trim change

> Simple to change capacity and

characteristics
 A simple cage change is all that is
required to change between reduced and
full-sized capacity trims or between linear
and equal percentage characteristics

> Sour gas/corrosive fluid capable


The wide choice of body and trim
materials allows the series 840 valves
to be applied to corrosive/sour gas
services with full compliance to
NACE requirements

Quick change trim

According to the Practical Guide to Control
Valves edited by the Instrument Society of
America (ISA): Valve Trim shall be of the
Quick Change type for ease of maintenance,
no internal components shall be screwed
or welded into the valve bodies or bonnets.
Trim shall be designed to provide equal
pressurisation around the plug in order to
minimise vibration and prevent any potential
problem from binding.

> Low-noise
High mass flow and/or pressure drop in
compressible fluids like gas or steam is a
major source of noise and accompanies
vibration in the system. The right
source treatment depends on the right
multi-path, multi-stage trim. IMI CCI
Drilled- Hole-Cage design provides noise
attenuation in a modular design

> Drilled-hole-cage - 840H

The 840H Drilled-Hole-Cage trim provides
proven performance in high pressure drop
applications without cavitation, noise,
erosion and vibration
> Anti-cavitation
Cavitation is the sudden growth and
collapse of vapour bubbles (cavities)
in downstream liquid. To avoid the
associated noise and vibration the right
number of multi-stage and multi-path trim
design should be adopted
