An adjustable choke valve replaces the fixed orifice found in a bean type choke with a variable opening, controlled by a needle or cage mechanism that operators can reposition to change the flow restriction on demand. Turning the handwheel or actuating the stem shifts the needle relative to the seat, opening or closing the flow path in small, repeatable increments without shutting down the well to swap parts. This flexibility makes adjustable chokes the standard choice on wellheads where production rates, pressure, and flow conditions change over the life of the well.

Common Applications

• Wellhead production flow control across changing conditions
• Applications requiring on demand rate adjustment without shutdown
• Surface and subsea choke manifold service
• Testing and unloading operations requiring variable restriction
