Choke valves regulate flow and control pressure during drilling and well testing operations. They are essential components of choke and kill manifolds.

There are two main categories:

• Adjustable choke valves for variable flow control

• Positive choke valves for fixed flow restriction

In high-velocity fluid systems, erosion resistance is critical. Materials and trim design directly affect performance and maintenance intervals.

Poor pressure management during drilling can lead to blowouts, equipment damage, and costly downtime. A properly engineered choke valve ensures controlled production and operational safety.
