 ADDITION FEATURES
VS-T control choke design incorporates hydrodynamic energy VALVE OPEN/CLOSE.
dissipation to reduce erosion problems while ensuring
positive flow control.
During application, the flow enters the choke inlet and
circulates around the annulus gallery between body and the
flow cage. The Flow cage has an even distribution of ports that
determine the high flow capacity.
The high-velocity fluid streams produced by the flow collide in
centre of the hard-core Tungsten carbide. Since the fluid
streams impinge directly with each other, this enables the
most erosive energy to be dissipated. This in turn minimizes
the risk of erosion damage to downstream parts.
VS-T control choke designed to provide precise flow control
throughout their entire operation life, with a well-proven track
record.

Conclusion

Process conditions are getting more demanding.

– More sand downhole during frac operation

– Higher flow rates in demand
– Increase emphasis on controllability and repeatability to meet well
program demands.
– Cost containment against sand erosion effects taking a front seat life.

Advance trim design and materials advantages…

– With it’s ability to control velocity at the trim, the ES external sleeve
design provides;

• Long trim life

• Lowest cost of ownership
• Increase Up-time
• Improved controllability and repeatability
• Long term shut off capability
• Proving itself to be best protection against the effects of sand erosion.
