Choke Seat – High-Pressure Flow Control Component

Description:

The choke seat is a precision-machined insert located inside the choke valve body, providing the sealing interface against the choke bean, plug, or stem. It plays a key role in regulating fluid flow and ensuring leak-tight performance in high-pressure, high-erosion environments such as well testing, flowback, and production operations.

Key Features:

  • Material Options:
    • Tungsten Carbide – For excellent erosion and corrosion resistance
    • SS 410 – For demanding service conditions
  • Sizes: Available in sizes from 3/4″ &1″ and customized per API specifications
  • Compatibility: Suited for both fixed and adjustable choke valves, including H2S environments (NACE MR0175 compliant)
  • Design: Tapered, flanged, or press-fit depending on choke model

Applications:

  • Wellhead choke valves
  • Hydraulic and manual chokes
  • Flowback systems
  • Surface well testing equipment
  • Managed pressure drilling (MPD)

Benefits:

  • High erosion and corrosion resistance in abrasive and corrosive fluid environments
  • Tight metal-to-metal sealing for zero-leak performance
  • Long operational life, reducing replacement frequency and downtime
  • Available with carbide coating or solid carbide for extreme service
