Mitigation of Wear-Induced Torque Failures in a 175-MPa Choke Valve: Experimental and Numerical Insights

Key Points

• Torque failures in the choke valve were effectively reduced, highlighting successful mitigation strategies.
• Experiments showed a significant decrease in failure incidents under high-pressure conditions with proper intervention strategies.
• Numerical analysis confirmed the effectiveness of specific designs in enhancing choke valve performance during wear.
• The findings suggest a robust approach for improving valve reliability, though further validation in real-world conditions is needed.
