General Description
The Adjustable Angle Choke Valve is a critical component used in oil and gas wellhead assemblies (Christmas trees) and kill/choke manifolds. Its primary function is to regulate and control the flow rate and pressure of produced fluids (oil, gas, and water) from the well . By manually turning the handwheel, the stem advances or retracts a tapered needle or plug relative to a seat, precisely varying the flow area. This model features a robust angle body design (90°) which inherently provides erosion resistance by directing flow away from the sealing surfaces .

Key Features & Applications
Key Features:
- Precise Flow Control: Allows fine-tuning of flow rates and pressures through a linear or equal percentage characteristic.
- Erosion Resistance: The hardened trim (Tungsten Carbide/Stellite) withstands the destructive forces of high-velocity, solids-laden fluids .
- Angle Pattern Design: The 90-degree body design helps protect the stem and sealing area from direct impingement of flow media, extending valve life .
- Visual Indication: A protected position indicator on the bonnet shows the exact opening percentage of the valve .
- Interchangeable Trim (Optional): Some models allow conversion between adjustable and fixed choke modes by changing the internal nozzle.
Main Applications:
- Wellhead Christmas Trees: Regulating production from oil and gas wells .
- Kill and Choke Manifolds: Controlling well pressure during drilling and workover operations .
- Flow Lines: As a primary control valve for flow rate and pressure reduction.
- Test Separators: Controlling flow into testing equipment.
