RE: API trim selection
Your question is very broad, and offers little input in order to select a trim (or even a body material). What medium are you dealing with? At what pressure? And what temperature?
Have a look at: http://alloy-valves.com/material-overview.htm for an overview of API 600 valve trims. However, you should start by defining material/pressure/temperature prior to selecting a trim or body mnaterial.
My focus is on valve stockists in the us and uk who supply duplex and super duplex valves, and inconel and hastelloy valves, plus titanium, alloy 20 and 904L valves.

which are not exist in API600 table8.
Is there another standard or reference in order to select control valve trim material?
