and look at page 8. You will see a drawing of a valve ,a Flex Wedge (Flexible Wedge) and the following note.
12. WEDGE. The wedge is part of the trim. It is forged stainless steel for diameters up to 6" and in cast steel for larger valves. It is normally supplied as the flexible wedge type. It is connected to the stem by means of a T joint. The guides on each side of the wedge are machined. Special attention is given to the seating surfaces which are ground and lapped.
You should also contact ALL of you normal Valve vendors and ask them to supply you with technical drawing and specifications for all of the valves you currently use or plan to use in the future.
