Greater control through technology
Cameron Multiple Orifice Valves (MOVs) together with four special trim designs are examples of the
many ways the company has solved customer problems throughout the years. In addition, this broad
product range exemplifies the many ways Cameron is committed to the application of state-of-the-art
technology to control production costs.
Research on materials also has helped Cameron control the effects of cavitation, erosion, and
freezing, three of the greatest threats to efficient flow control operations. This research provides
an extensive database where we can select the proper materials and alloys for specific choke
applications. Continuing investigations to determine the relative erosion, abrasion, and cavitation
resistance characteristic of materials allows Cameron to develop improved choke technologies for
enhanced durability and wear resistance.
The effects of abrasion, erosion, and cavitation can be reduced by applying hardfacing to the interior
surfaces of the choke outlet or by using an extended wear sleeve in the outlet.
Our research has shown that specific grades of tungsten carbide are effective at reducing erosion
wear, while Stellite§ is most resistant to the destructive consequences of cavitation.
Combined with the proper disc design and valve/orifice sizing, we can help you greatly prolong the
wear life of the valve.
Sizing
At Cameron, our many years of experience tells us that paying close attention to the correct choke
sizing is the first and foremost means of avoiding problems later on.
That is why we place a special emphasis on making sure your MOV choke is sized correctly for your
particular application.
Getting it wrong has implications on controllability, maximum flow capacity, erosion, and the service
life of your equipment.
Using the Cameron choke sizing program with our experience in a diverse range of applications,
we’re there to help when it comes to choke sizing and selection.
WILLIS MOV Chokes
In addition to testing chokes over a wide range of pressures,
Cameron measures flow rates and noise in a flow loop per
ISA specifications.
Cameron has an extensive erosion test facility with
specially designed equipment yielding high differential
pressure capabilities, as well as variable abrasive
content flow.
MOV Chokes are available in various configurations and
include a range of actuator options.

MOV drilling trim
Trim solutions for every job
The purpose of the MOV is to provide accurate, calibrated flow control, and
increased choke service life in all applications, including erosive conditions.
Toward that goal, new disc designs have been required to meet new and
greater demands of better rangeability, higher capacity, and increasingly
severe conditions. These new disc designs involve altering the normally
round orifice shapes on the discs to adapt them for special conditions.
Extended range trim
As an example, in a water injection application on the Alaska North Slope,
an oil company required a large valve that could control flow in the same
manner as a small valve. A special trim was designed with spiral-shaped
holes. This unusually high-rangeability trim solved the problem and joined
the Cameron MOV line as our extended range trim.
Pie-shaped trim
To tackle the problem of increasing flow capacity without increasing choke
body size, Cameron introduced the pie-shaped trim. By enlarging the
holes to resemble a slice of pie, this trim increases flow volume (CV) while
reducing nominal body size. This reduces costs normally incurred by using
a larger nominal body.
Drilling choke trim
Drilling conditions call for another special type of MOV trim. With
practically every drilling job, large cuttings come up the casing with the
mud. The cuttings can block the throttling restriction in many chokes.
However, our drilling choke trim is specially designed for mud service.
Utilizing a half-moon shaped hole, the drilling choke trim rotates through
a control range from fully open to fully closed in 180 degrees. This design
delivers control so reliable that the drilling choke outperforms other designs
for well killing and pressure control, especially in severe service involving
HS, abrasive fluids, and high pressures.
Styles
Our MOV chokes are classified into four basic styles depending upon the
kind of service needed:
1. Style 0—standard service
Standard service valves are the lowest cost choke styles. They generally are
intended for sweet crude oil, deaerated water, sweet natural gas, and other
non-corrosive fluids.
2. Style 8—sour service
In addition to the requirements of the standard valve type, the materials of
the pressure containing parts of this style meet the requirements of NACE
MR-01-75. Sour service chokes are intended for applications with HS
present as defined by NACE MR-01-75 requirements.
3. Style 4—wet CO service
This type of choke is intended for applications and service with wet CO
(sweet or sour) and other applications where 410 or 316 SS is accepted.
All wetted pressure-containing parts are made of stainless steel.
4. Style C—low temperature/sour service
In addition to the requirements of standard and sour gas service chokes,
the requirements of API 6A specifications are met. This adds Charpy
impact testing of materials for pressure containing parts. These valves are
intended for cold −50 degF [−46 degC] flow and/or ambient conditions,
with or without sour service.

Operation and features
For more than six decades, the Cameron MOV choke has set the standard
for precision flow control in a wide variety of applications all over the world.
As one of the Cameron four main choke technologies, which includes needle
and seat chokes, control chokes, and multistage chokes, the MOV choke is
recognized for its proven durability and precise flow control.
The term multiple orifice refers to the exclusive design of the MOV, which
utilizes a set of adjacent discs, each containing a pair of circular openings
or orifices. Other shapes can be used for custom applications. The two
discs are diamond lapped on the mating surfaces to tolerances near two
light bands of flatness. This allows for complete shutoff over a prolonged
period and precise flow rate control throughout the service life of the
equipment. In fact, most MOV chokes meet the requirements of ANSI B104
Class IV shutoff as standard.
As one disc is rotated with respect to the other, the flow area is enlarged
from closed to fully open, affecting a change in the flowing volume of
liquid and/or gas passing through the choke. Differential pressures across
the discs hold them together. There are no loose or unsupported parts
to cause vibration, noise, or fatigue failures. The exposed portion of the
disc’s surface is wiped clean of foreign deposits each time the valve is
rotated. Rotational trim movement also reduces problems associated with
asphaltenes. These types of fluids tend to solidify on linear motion trims,
limiting throttling capabilities.
The circular shape of the MOV’s standard flow disc offers a smaller
wearing surface. Also, there is no interfacing shape in the center of the
flow area. The net result is less wear on the throttling and shut-off area and
a more accurate, calibrated flow rate which means an extended service life
with little downtime for maintenance.
The MOV’s design has another benefit, this time adding to its service life:
a second set of orifice wearing edges are available by simply rotating
the discs in the opposite direction. Standard MOV discs are made from
tungsten carbide, which is proven to give enhanced durability and erosion
resistance, even in high pressure drop and severe service conditions.
Due to the simplicity in design, there are minimal wear components to
be replaced when the choke must be serviced, resulting in ease of field
maintenance, less downtime, and reduced operational costs.

Applications
The Cameron MOV line covers 1- to 6-in [25- to 152-mm] sizes that can
handle pressures up to 10,000 psi while operating at temperatures ranging
from −50 to 650 degF [−46 to 343 degC]. They are manufactured to meet
API, ANSI, and NACE standards.
MOVs are available in both adjustable and positive configurations, as well
as angled and in-line body configurations, with a variety of end connections
to meet most requirements.
The near-linear flow characteristics of the MOV make it well-suited for
production choke applications including:
Wellhead
Attached to the wing valve on the Christmas tree, and provides great
control for oil and gas production.
Manifold
Used to maintain pressures and control flow rates in oil or gas production
systems, and for pressure control in choke and kill manifolds.
Separator letdown
Used as a quick open/quick close quarter-turn valve to maintain levels
in separators.
Heater bypass
Used on a secondary bypass loop to reduce and control gas pressure.
Water flood
Used to control injection rates for pressure maintenance and enhanced oil
recovery (EOR).
CO
Provides accurate injection control for EOR with great resistance to freeze up.
Gas lift
Used to maintain pressures and control gas injection rates in a well to aid
in oil production.

The actuation of MOVs can take many forms, including:
■ Manual bar handles
■ Handwheel gear operator
■ Linear pneumatic actuator
■ Linear hydraulic actuator
■ Electric actuation
■ Stepping actuator
Any MOV can be actuated, and field conversion from manual to actuated
is possible on most models.
Pneumatic actuators
Pneumatic actuators are applicable to all of Cameron MOV choke models.
They are especially effective for economical, automated control of the M2
and larger choke valves. Accessories such as positioners, limit switches,
filter regulators, local pressure controllers, solenoid valves, and more are
available with pneumatic actuators.
Selecting the most economical size of actuator is determined primarily by
the turning torque required to effectively operate the choke. Diaphragm
actuators are preferred on many applications as they are more economical
than piston types, and they require only 35-psi line pressure to operate.
Piston actuators are required if the torque is in excess of, or near, the
maximum capabilities of the diaphragm actuators.
A Cameron representative can assist you in the selection of the proper
pneumatic actuator for the specified MOV application. Cameron MOV
chokes are easily adapted to pneumatic actuation using ruggedly-
constructed actuator adapters.
Electric actuators
Electric actuators are most popular for applications on smaller MOV
chokes such as the MC10, M1A, and M2. These chokes are designed
with actuation in mind and provide for an extremely compact and
simple installation.
Electrically-actuated MOV chokes are especially applicable to field
automated production installations using closed-loop computer control
systems. Specific advantages include:
■ Control capability over a wide range of flow rates
■ The capability of electronically controlled positioning
■ Near-linear increasing flow rates with increasing valve opening
■ Dynamic stability at all pressure drop and flow-rate conditions.
Availability of valve trim to allow for different ranges of flow rates, while
using the same actuator, valve body, and control software system
■ Low energy and torque requirements
Selection of electric actuators is primarily determined by the choke turning
torque required and the specific control feedback and environmental
considerations of the installation. Cameron electrically-actuated MOV
choke valves can be provided with adjustable travel stops, a potentiometer
for remote valve position readout, electronic speed control, weather-proof
and explosion-proof housings, and a manual override.

Stepping actuators
The S-15,000 stepping actuator is designed to open and/or close MOV
chokes in precise one-degree increments. The capabilities of this heavy-
duty actuator make it particularly applicable to M3, M3G, M4, and M6
MOVs choke.
The S-15,000 draws its name from the amount of torque it delivers,
15,000 in-lb, and is designed to work with either 100 psi pneumatic or
1,000 to 3,000 psi hydraulic fluid supply. The proven design features of
the S-15,000 make it one of the top actuators for remote and automated
control for locations on land, offshore, or subsea. The S-15,000 operates
at temperatures from −30 to 180 degF [−34 to 82 degC] in a watertight,
marine corrosion-resistant enclosure. In subsea applications, the unit has
been tested and rated to operate at depths of 4,000 ft.
For remote readings of the choke’s position, there is a standard 5,000-ohm
potentiometer which can be used with a transmitter to provide a feedback
signal in milliamps.
External position indicators on surface models of the S-15,000 can read
percent open, degrees rotated, or bean size for a quick visual reference
of MOV position at any given time. The S-15,000 has been tested through
1,000,000 cycles without any malfunction. In the event of a pneumatic
or hydraulic supply failure, the actuator will remain locked in its last set
position. There is a manual override drive achieved by rotating one of the
two hex shafts external to the actuator housing with a wrench.
Because of these features, and the high operational reliability of the
S-15,000, it can be specified for any production operation onshore or
offshore that requires precise, trouble-free flow control.

The M3G choke is a specially designed 3-in [76-mm] nominal MOV that has
been used in drilling choke applications for more than 15 years. Built for
severe abrasive service, it has a working pressure up to 10,000 psi and is
capable of taking a full 10,000-psi pressure drop with tungsten-carbide discs.
The M3G choke is well suited to high-pressure gas letdown applications
thanks to its enlarged outlet design which permits 4- to 6-in [102-to 152-mm]
flanges to be attached directly to the body for gas expansion. The discs are
located near the enlarged outlet, allowing high velocity fluids and particles
to pass through into the expanded cavity. The resulting deceleration reduces
wear on the choke outlet.

The M4 choke is a 4-in [102-mm] nominal MOV that has found a great
deal of acceptance worldwide, particularly in large volume production
and in water-injection applications in the North Sea, Middle East, and
Alaskan North Slope. This choke is extensively used in surface wellhead
and production applications and has gained wide acceptance as a
high-quality subsea choke. The M4 choke affords easy actuation from
a variety of pneumatic diaphragm actuators to the Cameron S-15,000
stepping actuator.

Most of our MOV chokes have the capability
of being field converted from the standard
rotating disc design to a positive configuration.
Conversely, positive chokes can be field
converted to adjustable rotating discs when
desired. Removal of beans requires no special
tools and each bean is marked in 64th of an inch
for easy identification.
In-line positive chokes
In-line positive chokes are available for
either standard service or high-temperature
applications. Standard chokes are constructed
with O-ring seals and are recommended for
temperatures less than 225 degF [107 degC].
High-temperature positive chokes are furnished
with spiral-wound flexitallic gaskets and are
designed for temperatures up to 750 degF
[399 degC]. Servicing is a simple matter of
loosening the hub flange bolts and partially
disassembling the connection to allow the
bean to be removed or replaced as required.
