Question 1

What is the working pressure rating?

Accepted Answer

15,000 psi working pressure, 15K class. The choke body is rated at the full pressure class; the trim (stem, bean, seat) is sized to handle the rated ΔP at the bean orifice. Note: pressure drops across a choke can be severe — specify both upstream and downstream pressures on the RFQ to confirm trim suitability.

Question 2

What is the difference between Adjustable and Positive chokes?

Accepted Answer

Adjustable chokes use a handwheel-controlled threaded stem to vary the orifice opening — the operator can dial in any flow rate from fully closed to fully open. Position indicator on the bonnet shows current opening. Positive chokes have a fixed orifice (bean) of a calibrated size — the bean is interchangeable to change settings, but cannot be varied during operation. Adjustable for active flow control; positive for stable, repeatable flow allocation.

Question 3

What does the trim model "N-60 5x7" indicate?

Accepted Answer

N-60 5x7 is the trim family designation — N-60 is a compact-body 2-inch trim, common for lower-flow service. Bean / orifice maximum: 3/4 in max. The "5x7" suffix indicates a gear-reduction handwheel (5:7 ratio) — used for higher-torque adjustment under full line pressure.

Question 4

What end connections does this choke use?

Accepted Answer

Inlet: 2 in 1502 Female Weco Union. Outlet: 2 in 1502 Male Weco Union. These are Weco wing-union connections — the standard for frac flow iron.

Question 5

Is this choke suitable for sour-service (H₂S) wells?

Accepted Answer

No — this is standard-service rated. For sour wells, specify the NACE MR0175 compliant variant on the RFQ.

Question 6

Can the trim be replaced in the field?

Accepted Answer

Yes — adjustable choke trim (stem assembly, bean, seat) is service-replaceable without taking the body out of line. Bleed line pressure, remove the bonnet, swap the trim insert, reinstall. Indus stocks complete trim refurbishment kits and individual bean / seat sizes; specify the OEM and serial number for the correct fit.

Question 7

What materials are used for the body and trim?

Accepted Answer

Body: Forged AISI 4130. Trim (stem / bean / seat): Tungsten-carbide bean + Inconel 625 stem + TC seat. Seals: RPTFE back-up + Viton (FKM) primary seals. Tungsten-carbide hardfacing (or full TC inserts) on the bean and seat is standard for sand-laden flow. Inconel 625 trim is available for severe sour environments.

Question 8

What is the lead time?

Accepted Answer

Typical lead time 49 working days ex-works. 15K-class chokes are typically build-to-order — confirm OEM build slot at quote stage. Sour-service variants add 5-15 days for material certification.
