Big John Choke Bean - Cameron Type H2 Positive Choke Bean lined with tungsten carbide About

Product Overview

The Big John Choke Bean is a premium positive choke bean designed for precise flow control in oil and gas wellhead equipment. Also known as the Cameron Type H2 Big John Choke Bean, this component is widely used in positive choke valves to regulate the flow of fluids from wellheads, production trees, and choke manifolds.

As a critical valve trim component, the choke bean is installed in the choke body to control flow rate, reduce pressure, and enable accurate calculation of oil and gas production volumes. Each bean features a fixed-size precision orifice, allowing operators to calculate flow rates based on the specific orifice diameter selected.

Key Features

1) Exceptional abrasion resistance - ideal for sandladen production fluid

2) High strength and rigidity - withstands extreme pressusre differentials

3) Superior corrosion and erosion resistance - suitable for HS and CO environments

4) Exellent impact and thermal shock resistance - reliable under rapid pressure/temperature changes

5) CNC machined, high precision - ensures precise fit and reliable sealing

6) Extended service life - reduces replacement frequency and minimizes costly downtime
