 Chapter I Summary

MSP/DRILEX chokes have a wide range of throttling utilities, such as

pipeline, wellhead, production manifold, choke manifold, logging and

chipping。

LT chokes are designed to avoid the defects of needle chokes，with size

of flange and gasket ring both satisfying API 6A. LT chokes contribute a

variable range of flow rates，with major range of throttling bore sizes. If

unchangeable flow is required，the choke valve can be caging to provide the

unchangeable flow，and thus meet variable demands of clients.

LT choke trims and valve stems are constructed with tungsten carbide

coating of hi-anti-corrosion and rust-resistant characteristic，having long

service life.

LT choke valve has blow-down valve on the body，and is easy to

discharge inner pressure of valve cavity.

LT choke valve applies particular structure and seal material to pack off

the bonnet, withstand hi-pressure, reliable seal, and long life.
