Control Chokes

Product catalog summary
Overview
Cameron's control chokes are designed to provide precise flow control and minimize erosion through hydrodynamic energy dissipation. They are suitable for various applications such as production, injection, and storage, and can be installed on equipment like Christmas trees and offshore platforms.
Design and Features
The control chokes incorporate a cage with evenly distributed ports to manage flow capacity. High-velocity fluid streams collide within the cage, dissipating erosive energy and protecting downstream components. Available in plug & cage, external sleeve, and multistage trim types, these chokes offer multiple flow characteristics and special trim solutions for specific challenges.
Trim Types
  • Plug & Cage Trim: Utilizes a tungsten carbide plug and cage for erosion resistance, suitable for high-capacity applications. Features include a large visual indicator, external grease port, and pressure-balanced seals.
  • External Sleeve Trim: Designed for low-capacity/high pressure-drop applications, with a tungsten carbide-lined sleeve for erosive conditions. Similar features to plug & cage trim.
  • Multistage Trim: Used for high differential pressures to reduce noise and vibration, and prevent cavitation. It manages pressure and velocity through multiple stages.
Control Choke Models
Models CC15, CC20, CC30, CC40, CC60, CC70, and CC80 offer various configurations and actuation types, including hydraulic and electric. Each model is designed for specific pressure and temperature conditions, with flow curves provided for performance analysis.
High-Pressure/High-Temperature Applications
Chokes are engineered for high-pressure, high-temperature environments, using corrosion-resistant alloys and metal seals for reliability in sour service conditions.
Choke Sizing and Testing
Cameron provides a computer-based choke sizing program to optimize selection based on flow and pressure requirements. Testing facilities in Houston ensure compliance with ANSI/ISA specifications for flow and noise.
Material Specifications
Control chokes are constructed with materials meeting API 6A standards, with options for different service conditions. Erosive and cavitation-resistant materials are available for specific applications.

Cameron control choke design incorporates hydrodynamic energy dissipation to reduce erosion problems while ensuring positive flow control. During service, the flow enters the choke inlet and circulates around the annulus between the body and the cage. The cage has an even distribution of ports that determine the maximum flow capacity. The high-velocity fluid streams produced by the flow collide in the center of the cage. 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...

Plug & Cage The plug & cage control choke uses the plug as the controlling element, and throttles the flow on the internal diameter of the ported cage. The ports in the cage are sized and arranged to give the most appropriate combination of controllability and flow capacity for each application. A major consideration when sizing the choke is the ability to achieve closely managed well startup while also optimizing capacity towards the end of well life to maximize production. The plug & cage design is highly optimized, and incorporates the largest possible flow area, making it ideal for high-capacity...

External Sleeve The external sleeve control choke has a sleeve that throttles the flow on the external diameter of the ported cage. The external sleeve trim is particularly suited for lowcapacity/high pressure-drop applications. The external sleeve is designed specifically for severely erosive service where the combination of high pressure drops and high sand concentrations can reduce the life of a choke. Additional features include: ■■ Large visual indicator provides position in 1/64-in bean as standard. External grease port lubricates threads and bearings. Stem lock maintains set position....

Multistage Trim A multistage choke trim is used in applications where high differential pressures result in unacceptably high noise and vibration levels, especially in gas service. Multistage trims also are commonly used to prevent cavitation in the case of liquids, particularly for water injection. The trim works by reducing the pressure over a number of discrete stages, giving a carefully managed pressure profile. Similarly, it manages the velocities within the trim, and prevents the occurrence of undesired flow effects such as sonic velocities and high velocity jetting. In addition to the...
