OEM Advantage
Cameron offers OEM-trained employees, certified drawings, procedures, and access to resources and aftermarket services, including metallurgy, design, welding, engineering, quality, R&D, and recertification and repair support.

Options
Standard or custom configurations are available, with instrumentation for pressure readings, ports for glycol injections, and various structural components for operating chokes and valves.

Choke and Kill Manifold Design
The systems include CAMERON DR-Type Gate & Seat Drilling Chokes in 2” and 3” sizes, with working pressures from 10,000 psi to 25,000 psi, featuring reversible gate & seat components for extended service life.

Drilling Chokes
Cameron offers WILLIS MOV-Type Rotating Disc Drilling Chokes in 3” size, with working pressures of 10,000 psi and 15,000 psi, featuring a 180-degree rotation and high blockage resistance.

Valves
The FLS Gate Valve is a full-bore, through-conduit valve with pressure ratings from 2000 to 20,000 psi, featuring bi-directional design and metal-to-metal sealing. The FLS-R Gate Valve is for large-bore applications with pressure ratings up to 30,000 psi, featuring a lower balancing stem and ball-screw mechanism for ease of operation.

Conclusion
Cameron's systems provide reliable, safe, and efficient pressure control for drilling operations, supported by rigorous quality standards and comprehensive OEM support.
Specifications and Dimensions
Detailed specifications for FLS-R gate valves include nominal sizes, working pressures, dimensions, and weights in both inches/pounds and millimeters/kilograms. Valves are available in sizes with working pressures from 5,000 psi to 30,000 psi. Key dimensions and operational details are provided.

Design Features
The FLS and FLS-R gate valves have a simplified design with fewer bushings and seal interfaces, reducing potential leak locations and protecting components. The valves have fewer sealing surfaces than older FC-style designs, enhancing service life. The seat seals are dual spring-loaded, pressure-energized, non-elastomeric lip-seals for enhanced protection.

Valve Assembly
The FLS-R model includes a ball screw design and balancing stem, reducing thread friction and torque, and providing position indication. The design allows the gate to float with less restriction, reducing leak paths.

Comparison with FC Style Gate Valve
The FLS and FLS-R gate valves improve upon the older FC-style design by offering a more efficient design with fewer parts and sealing surfaces, increasing reliability and service life.

Additional Information
Cameron offers various manifolds for different applications, including standpipe and cement manifolds. Contact information for Cameron's offices in the USA, Canada, France, and Ireland is provided.

HSE Policy Statement
Cameron is committed to a safe working environment, emphasizing health, safety, and environmental excellence.

Choke and Kill Manifold Systems-3

While drilling demands have changed to operate under more extreme temperatures, higher pressure environments, and more severe service applications, one thing remains the same: the need for reliable pressure-control equipment. Look no further than Cameron for choke and kill manifolds that meet the requirements of any operation. Cameron's choke and kill manifold provides control of flowback or treatment fluids. The choke and kill manifold system consists of high-pressure valves, chokes, pressure sensors, connecting blocks, spool spacers, buffer tanks, flanges, and instrumentation configured together....

DRILLING CHOKES Cameron’s drilling choke product range consists of two main choke types: the CAMERON® DR gate & seat type and the WILLIS® Multiple Orifice Valve (MOV) rotating disc type. These chokes control the pressure in the well bore during drilling, circulate out any kicks of gas encountered during drilling, and prevent loss of well control by maintaining a satisfactory column of drilling mud. With several options and configurations, Cameron’s drilling chokes offer proven performance within diverse drilling applications on a global scale.

Choke and Kill Manifold Systems-6

Cameron’s gate valves are designed with experience, manufactured with painstaking attention to detail, and tested to API’s and Cameron’s approved quality plan. The choke and kill manifold incorporates Cameron’s FLS™ and/or FLS-R™ gate valves, which are slab gate style and utilize a solid, single-piece slab gate that simplifies the design. The resulting valve is rugged, yet easy to assemble and maintain. FLS Gate Valve Cameron’s FLS gate valve is widely recognized as a high-quality valve for severe applications. The FLS is a full-bore, through-conduit valve available in standard double-flange,...

FC Style Gate Valve vs. FLS/FLS-R Gate Valve With a commitment to innovation and best-in-class products, Cameron's FLS and FLS-R gate valves improve upon the older FC-style design with a more efficient design that reduces leak paths. Because of the separate body brushing and seat ring seals, the FC-style gate valve design has more sealing surfaces than the FLS and FLS-R gate valves, which means more potential leak paths. The newer FLS and FLS-R one-piece seat design, with fewer parts and fewer sealing surfaces, increases service life and decreases the number of leak paths. Their dual spring-loaded,...
