RE: Choke Valve
www.google.com Try "oil production choke valve"
Gets lots of hits explaining what a choke valve is for this service.
RE: Choke Valve
The fixed choke works like a restriction orifice except that it can handle lots of pressure drop for extended periods. Old designs from the 1930's exist all over the world. The replaceable bean (bored tube that threads into the body). With the standard designs you can get the beans from supply houses in any oil-patch supply. These are sized for the specific condidions; or replaced by trial and error.
The variable choke has a valve plug that is adjustable within the restriction. These are sized to permit design flow at about 50% travel so that you can accommodate changes.
I find that Cor-Val in Houma, LA are quite competitive compared to the typical suppliers.
