High-Pressure Flow Control Equipment

Choke Valve

Choke valves are used for high-pressure throttling, flow regulation and pressure control. Sizes cover 2 in to 4 1/16 in, with working pressures from 5,000 psi (35 MPa) to 20,000 psi (140 MPa). Fixed and adjustable designs are available, including fixed choke bean, needle, sleeve and orifice-plate types, with union-end or flanged connections.

1. Product Overview

High-pressure choke valves are used for flow regulation, pressure control, and throttling pressure reduction in high-pressure lines and manifold systems. They provide stable control of fluid flow and line pressure by changing the flow area.

Structural types include positive choke valves and adjustable choke valves. Adjustable structures can be selected as needle type, sleeve type, or orifice-plate type. By operating mode, they are available in manual and hydraulic types.

Adjustable choke valves change the flow area through stem cone movement, plunger movement, or orifice plate rotation. Positive choke valves control flow and pressure by changing the fixed bean size.

The company supplies 2 in to 4 1/16 in products. Connection types include union-end and flanged connections. Working pressure covers 5,000 psi to 20,000 psi, suitable for cementing, fracturing, drilling-fluid circulation, and high-pressure manifold applications.

2. Design Features

The flow-adjustment position can be read directly from the scale, allowing operators to quickly judge valve opening and adjustment status on site.

Key parts such as choke beans, stem tips, and seats use hard alloy or tungsten carbide materials to improve erosion, wear, and corrosion resistance.

The cylindrical stem structure helps improve flow condition, reduce line vibration and noise, and increase stability during high-pressure choking.

The valve body and outlet flange use a split structure, making seat inspection, replacement, and field maintenance easier.

Union and flange connection dimensions match common high-pressure manifold systems for field installation, replacement, and matching use.

Fixed choke beans use inch specifications, making them suitable for common high-pressure flow-control equipment and standardized spare-parts management.
