The Standardin Non-Standard Valve Productionwww.uscortec.comAMERICAN MADE1 0 0 % U S A M a n u f a c t u r ed & Te st edOur BusinessCORTEC is a design, manufacturing, sales and service organization specializing in flow control applications. We offer a line of equipment for use in a wide range of operational services, and we excel in providing solutions to our customers’ needs when higher pressures, corrosive substances, or abrasive fluids are present. CORTECdesigns equipment to meet or exceed the requirements of the American Petroleum Institute Specification 6A. Additionally, CORTEC's quality program is registered to the ISO 9001 and API Q1 quality standards.The CORTEC brand comprises two globally established divisions: Production ChokesWhat should I consider before selecting a choke?? Working pressure and temperature? Inlet and outlet connections: size, type, etc.? Nominal body size? Trim type: tapered needle, cage and sleeve, rotating disc, positive bean, etc.? Means of operation: manual hand wheel or remotely actuated? Service conditions: corrosive, abrasive, sour? Flow media and specifications: oil, gas, water, gravity, etc.? Flow rates: minimum and maximum? Design and quality requirements: API, ANSI, etc.We understand the importance of proper orifice sizing and its impact on your production. Let us help you make the right choice.Production & Extreme Service Chokes Compact Manifold ValvesFlowline Accessories Turnkey Valve Manifold PackagesTurnkey Valve Manifold PackagesOrifice Sizing and SelectionProbably the most misunderstood aspect of buying a choke is proper orifice sizing and trim style selection. It iscritical to the proper performance, function, service life and operator satisfaction. It is imperative that the choke andit's associated components are properly selected based on the intended application. A choke that is equipped withthe optimal trim size and style will assure maximum service life, flowing performance and minimize down time.CORTEC employs flow control sizing software based on the Instrument Society of America rules, as well as years of experience and field confirmation. During the inquiry and sales process, we encourage the customer to provide flow data and allow us to perform flow calculations. These calculations will aid in selection of the correct orifice size and style and will allow us to make informed product recommendations. CORTEC can assistthis process by providing a data input form for the customer to complete.Choke Bolting DimensionsCORTEC chokes are manufactured to standard inlet and outlet dimensions. Our manufacturing process allows usthe versatility to supply chokes to custom inlet and outlet dimensions with a wide variety of common and customconnections. This allows you to replace your existing choke without costly piping changes in the field.Type Dimension DescriptionI Inlet dimensions are from the centerline of the outlet to the face of the inlet flange. O Outlet dimensions are from the centerline of the inlet to the face of the outlet flange. P Overall length of the positive model of the choke.A Overall length of the adjustable model of the choke in the fully closed position.Cage and Sleeve TrimCORTEC MODELS — CC, CE• Low Pressure Recovery Characteristics• Erosion resistant prolonging trim life• Pressure balanced to reduce torque • For severe service applications including abrasive service• ANSI Seat Class IV & VRotary Disc TrimCORTEC MODEL — RM• High range ability requirements in severe erosive applicationsNeedle and Seat TrimCORTEC MODELS — NH, NC, NCH,NG8746, and NJWA• Fully adjustable as flow rates and pressures fluctuate• Easy to replace in the field• Parts are interchangeable with popular models• Suitable for low to medium pressure drops, less severe servicePositive Choke BeanCORTEC MODELS — PH, PC, PHC,PG8746 and PPC• The simplest, most inexpensive configuration• Engineered for heavy duty, maintenance free performance• Parts are interchangeable with popular models• Installation, parts replacement, and other field work are simpleTrim OptionsProper orifice sizing and trim style selection is critical to proper performance, function, service life and operatorsatisfaction.
