Trim Wear/Erosion: Valve trim (plug, seat ring, cage) erodes from high-velocity fluid, cavitation, or abrasive particles. Causes loss of control accuracy and increased leakage. Most common in V150/V200 after 2-4 years in erosive service.
Repair: Replace trim set (plug + seat ring + cage). Fisher trim is interchangeable between V150/V200/V300 bodies. Standard trim lead time: 2-4 weeks. Severe service trim (Cavitrol, WhisperFlo): 6-8 weeks.
Seat Leakage (Class IV to VI): Valve fails to achieve required shutoff class. Causes include seat damage, thermal distortion, or foreign material between plug and seat.
Repair: Lap plug and seat ring to restore sealing surfaces. If damage exceeds 0.005", replace trim. For Class VI (bubble-tight) shutoff, soft seat inserts may be required. Lead time: 2-4 weeks.
Severe service trim: 6-8 weeks — Cavitrol III, WhisperFlo, custom trim
