A choke valve is a type of valve used to regulate the flow of fluids, typically in applications involving oil and gas production, water treatment, or other industrial processes. It works by restricting the flow area, which allows operators to control the pressure and flow rate of the fluid passing through the system. Choke valves are often used to manage the extraction of hydrocarbons from reservoirs, particularly in wellhead control systems.
