MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION

The procedure for selecting the materials of construction for

chokes necessitates the considerations of a number of factors.
In addition to the application, type of fluid, corrosion/erosion
effects, fluid temperature, process pressure and contamination
level, other factors also need to be considered.

Typical materials of construction are:

– ASTM A216 WCB/ASTM A352 LCB and LCC
– AISI 4130/8630 and ASTM A182 F22
(Including partial or full alloy 625 overlay)
– UNS S31803, UNS S32550 and solid alloy 625
– Titanium

SURFACE CHOKE TRIM

TECHNOLOGY
All Koso Kent Introl Series 73 choke valves utilise the
low-pressure recovery High Friction (HF) design of trim. First
introduced in 1967, the HF trim philosophy is that the high
energy, velocity and turbulence are dissipated and controlled
within the confines of the trim, avoiding erosion damage to the
pressure containing boundaries.

Depending on the specific application and service conditions,

single stage or a multiple of stages can be used. On
multi-stage trims, the holes are specifically aligned from one
sleeve to the next, so the individual jets must change direction
repeatedly in the recovery chambers between each sleeve.
This arrangement provides controlled staged pressure
reduction without the onset of incipient cavitation and its
associated problems of erosion, vibration and noise.

FEATURES OF THE HF CARTRIDGE TRIM DESIGN

– Divides the main flow into a large number of small streams,
increasing the turbulence/noise peak frequency and
maximising the pipe wall transmission loss.
– High energy levels, pressure, velocity and turbulence intensity
are dissipated within the confines of the trim, avoiding
erosion damage to the pressure containing boundaries.
– Design of last stage ensures low velocity non-interacting jets,
avoiding unnecessary generation of noise in the choke outlet.
Cartridge trim design which incorporates
– Various trim sizes can be used in different choke body sizes,
a metallic ‘Brick Stopper’
to ideally suit the process parameters.
– Specially characterised trims can be provided.
– The inner tungsten carbide control elements are protected
from impact damage by the outer cartridge sleeve
(verified by testing).
– The HF trim design has an inherently high capacity and
rangeability.
– All seals are resilient and do not suffer from explosive
decompression.

PROTECTION AGAINST SAND EROSION

On applications, where there is a potential for high sand

contamination within the medium, the HF-LCV design of trim
would be offered. This design of trim has been independently
tested and proved very successful on some of the most
erosive services.

THE MAIN FEATURES OF THE HF-LCV TRIM DESIGN

– Premium grade solid tungsten carbide critical control elements.
– Solid tungsten carbide sacrificial plug nose.
– Shrouded plug seat – seating area is protected from the high
erosive flow path.
– Hole development dead band – seating area is moved away
from the main flow area.
– Stem scrapers – prevents migration of sand into the stem seal area. 3D illustration

– Optional tungsten carbide wear sleeve.

DEALING WITH EROSION FROM

SOLID CONTAMINANTS
Some severe service applications do not just have to handle
high-pressure drop scenarios; there is also the potential
problem of erosion due to solid contaminants entrained in the
process medium.

EXAMPLE APPLICATION
Koso Kent Introl developed the LCV trim over 20 years ago to
handle these particular severe service applications. With the
aid of Finite Element Analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics,
Extensive Erosion testing and the use of the latest erosion
resistant materials, the design has been further enhanced to
maximise the expected life of the trim components.

The initial choke was supplied in 1974 on a Level Control Valve

(LCV) first stage separator application. The trim was of a HFD st
316L standard cage guided design. In the early 1980’s the client
introduced water injection, the additional water cut also produced
sand. Within 2 weeks of operation of the valve, the trim was being
severely eroded away due to excessive sand contamination.
Fully stellited cage guided trim after two weeks operation

THE LCV SOLUTION

Koso Kent Introl introduced a number of design enhancements

to ensure that the choke trim would withstand the erosive
nature of the medium. These enhancements included the
introduction of a dead band, a sacrificial plug nose, a shrouded
Patented solid tungsten seat face arrangement and solid tungsten carbide main trim

INTRODUCTION OF THE DEAD BAND
The dead band is designed so that the valve stem will travel
between 5 and 10% prior to any significant flow being passed
through the valve. This moves the seating faces away from the
main flow path of the medium as the flow is directed onto
specially designed hard wearing sacrificial areas.

existing competitors choke valve. Vibration measurements of 33
mm/sec were recorded in the downstream pipe.

Koso Kent Introl initially provided a 6” trial carbon steel choke

with a 4” multistage high duty trim. The main trim control
elements were tungsten carbide. The vibration in the down
stream pipe was significantly reduced to 3.5 mm/sec. Due to
the success of the trial choke, Koso Kent Introl subsequently
received an order for an additional 26 duplex chokes of the
same design. The choke valves were provided with special end
connections to ensure that they fit into the existing pipe-work.
