In a segmented ball valve designed for low noise and anti-cavitation applications, a replaceable low noise and anti-cavitation cartridge is fixed inside the segment retained by stem and end post. The segment has a machined cylindrical bore with a slide-fit noise cartridge. This enables field replaceability of the noise cartridge on site with minor effort & without need of any welding or fasteners. The replaceable cartridge also enables use of fully cylindrical cartridge with a greater number of pressure reduction stages compared to design with welded on noise plates on the segment. The segment has a flattened front face resulting in lower Fd enabled by dual flow path in lower openings values thereby attaining higher noise attenuation in cases where the noise cartridge is not required. The low noise and anti-cavitation cartridge has curved plates which enables expanding flow resulting in non-impinging jet streams thereby achieving higher noise attenuation. The cartridge enables converging the flow in the opposite direction resulting in reduction of flow energy, thus reducing the potential for cavitation in case of liquids and other media flow.
