Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a choke valve that includes a choke body, a choke trim disposed in the choke body, where the choke trim is configured to adjust a cross-sectional area of a flow path in the choke body to adjust a fluid flow through the choke valve, a needle of the choke trim disposed in the flow path of the fluid flow, where the needle includes a first portion having a superhard material, a seat of the choke trim, where the needle is configured to move along an axis extending through an opening of the seat to adjust the fluid flow through the choke valve.

Abstract: A system includes a choke valve having a fluid inlet configured to receive a fluid at a first pressure and a fluid outlet configured to output the fluid at a second pressure. The choke valve also includes a fixed component and a movable component defining a throttling orifice between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. Additionally, the movable component is configured to automatically move relative to the fixed component in response to a change in the first pressure to maintain a consistent percent pressure drop between the first pressure at the fluid inlet and the second pressure at the fluid outlet.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device that includes a choke valve. The choke valve may include a generally tubular throttling member having a sealing shoulder disposed in an inner volume of the throttling member, a plurality of openings configured to flow a fluid between the inner volume of the throttling member and an outer volume of the throttling member, and a flow-impeding recess disposed between the sealing should and the plurality of openings in the inner volume of the throttling member. The choke valve may also include a valve member disposed at least partially in the inner volume of the throttling member.

Abstract: A choke valve system includes a choke valve having a body and an annular seat disposed within the body. The choke valve also includes a plug configured to move relative to the annular seat between an open position in which a fluid is enabled to flow through the choke valve and a closed position in which the fluid is blocked from flowing through the choke valve and in which the plug contacts an annular seating surface of the annular seat. The choke valve further includes a damper coupled to the plug, and the damper is configured to absorb a load generated by contact between the plug and the annular seating surface of the annular seat as the plug moves into the closed position.
