English does not appear to be your first language. Is that correct?

As written your question does not make sense.

Change Spec on a Valve: change the Spec where?

Why do you need or want to change the Spec. It sounds like you only want to change the "Trim" of the valve. Is that correct?

Ahmad....

Regarding replacement of the valve seats, begin discussions with the original valve manufacturer.

Only he can tell you if the new seat material is aceptable. Only he can sell it to you.

Regarding, what I believe to be your actuator problem (not sure here).... discuss this with the original actuator manufacturer, and his competitors.....you will have mote options here, but you must give them the original valve type to enable them to suggest new actuators.

Oh, ....wait....does your bosss not want you to talk with any valve vendors ?

Doe he want you to "do it all yourself".....with you in-house maintenance staff ?
