When selecting a TXV I follow the manufacturers' guides, such as...

or pick an instruction document...

I think your looking for the distributor nozzles. Follow this link and click on the "Heatcraft IOM's" selection. Page 7 and 8 has the charts for the most popular Sporlan brand distributors.

You can also use the Danfoss selection software for thermo/electronic expansion valves and cap tube

Here in Romania we mainly use Danfoss expansion devices and the software work's like a charm
