Zusammenfassung:The invention provides novel valve structure for controlling the supply of hot pressurized steam to a steam turbine with a minimum of noise and vibration, especially in the partially open position where a large degree of throttling is attained. Tubular structure having a large number of perforations that are progressively uncovered as the valve plug is moved in opening direction is provided, thereby imposing a large number of small throttlings in the steam flow (instead of the usual single large throttling) with attendant reduction in noise and vibration level over the entire operating range of the valve.
