Models BTE and BAP Choke/Control Valve

Baker SPD introduced a new product design to upgrade old technology in angle pattern chokes. Giv-
ing you the angle pattern design, Baker has designed a new trim assembly for better versatility, with
interchangeability with our Models BTE and BAP valves. With this new design you are able to con-
vert manual operation into automation with valves in service, or at a later date.

Model BDD Double Disc Inline Flow Control Choke Valve

Introduction
Baker Double Disc Inline Flow Control Choke differs from
competitors’ models in that it offers a double pressure drop system with
two sets of double discs to step (small-large orifices) for severe ser-
vices, and provides two bubble tight shutoffs.
Standard 316 Stainless Steel spool provides low torque and allows it to
handle high pressure drop, cavitation, and turbulence.
Features and Benefits
• Available in 1 in., 2 in., and 3 in. Sizes
• Slanted holes are standard on 1 in., 2 in., and 3 in. valves in Ceramic
and Tungsten Carbide (promotes good laminar flow in
valve, impinging on itself and inhibits cutting action
on valve)
• Two sets of double discs inhibit freeze-up for gas
service
• The two sets of double discs (up and down stream)
offer a bubble tight seal that is excellent for gas
application
• No wear sleeve or diffuser required
• Low torque (due to lubricated spool)
• Bodies and hubs are made of bar-stock for greater safety,
pressure rating and appearance
• 1 in., 2 in., and 3 in. - 3,705 psi working pressure - 5,575 psi test
• 5,000 psi working pressure - 10,000 psi test (available in Steel only)
• Greasing zerk (ease of maintenance, extended service life)
• All combinations of end-connection are available
• Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel valves are standard with 316 Stainless Steel spools
• Valves are available in Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel
• 96% Alumina slanted Ceramic discs are ideal for both fluid and gas applications providing
excellent abrasion resistance and chemical resistance
• All valves can be furnished with actuators

Inline Choke (Delta)

Introduction
The Baker SPD Inline Choke is designed specifically for controlling gas and liquid flowline rates.
Water and CO2 systems are designed to control the rate of fluid injection. The stellite sleeve absorbs
the cavitation and pitting action of the fluid as it takes the pressure drop. The sleeve design allows
the thickest material around the disc holes and is funnel-shaped to direct the flow back into the cen-
ter of the piping.

Sizes
1 in. and 2 in.

Connections
• Threaded
• ANSI 600 and 900/1500 Flanged
• Grooved
• Union x Socket Weld

Baker SPD Model BLF Low Flow Inline Choke

(For Economical Control of Wellhead Injection Rates)
With Baker SPD’s new, improved Model BLF Low Flow Inline
Choke, your enhanced oil recovery project can also benefit
from enhanced economy. That’s because the new BLF is
designed to handle the low flow and low pressure drops
that characterize CO2 and water injection operations.
Simple, Inline flow characteristics make the BLF Inline
Choke unsurpassed for reducing and/or controlling flow rates
on gas
and liquid lines near the wellhead.
Stainless steel bar stock construction makes the BLF less
susceptible to porosity leaks.
Features and Benefits
• Connection: 1 in. FNPT
• Maximum working pressure: 3,705 psi (ANSI Class 1500)
• Maximum recommended pressure differential: 500 psi
• Dimensional Length: 7.38 in.

Available in the following choke sizes:

Orifice Equivalent Flow Equivalent Estimated
Size (Holes) Area (in.²) 64th Cave Factor
1/8 in. .0246 11.3 0.6
1/4 in. .0982 22.6 2.7
