The external sleeve type trim uses a flow sleeve moving over the outside of a ported cage to control flow. A metal to metal (optionally tungsten carbide) seat design on the outside of the flow sleeve and out of the high velocity flow assures positive shut off and an extended seat life. The controlling element (flow sleeve) moves in a lower velocity regime and leads to the high erosion resistance of this trim design. Applications of these chokes include high-pressure drops and fluids with entrained solids such as formation sands. This trim is normally supplied in tungsten carbide. 4x4 trim gives a modified equal percentage characteristic.

4x4 CONTROL CHOKE TRIM
Flow is directed through ports into the centre of the trim where it impinges on flow from the opposite port.4 diametrically opposed ports can provide the highest wear resistance in a 'cage' type flow trim. 4 small ports in the lower section provide fine control at low openings while 4 larger ports provide capacity for higher flows. 4 Port flow geometry provides a balanced flow pattern,which starts as an equal percent type characteristic and moves towards linear. Flow rate is adjusted by the use of a s lee ve moving outside the flow cage for External Sleeve' type of valve.
