ChannelStream trim prevents cavitation from forming and minimizes hydrodynamic noise even in the most challenging liquid applications. Staged pressure drops eliminate cavitation by maintaining pressure above the vapor pressure, never allowing cavitation to form.

Features & Benefits
- Tolerates Sigma as low as 1.002.
- Works best in mild to moderate cavitation and can handle heavy cavitation applications
- Eliminates cavitation through a series of holes and channels to reduce the pressure in stages
- Optimized and characterized for an application with stages added as needed
- Uses small passages, impingement, expansion and contraction to reduce pressure
