[54] MULTISTAGE STACKED DISC CHOKE
[57] Abstract: [0049] The invention provides an improved multistage stacked disc choke that can be manufactured from a sintering process. The choke includes a plurality of stacked disks that are produced in a “green” sintered state, then stacked, and sintered into a monolithic assembly. The stacked disk monolithic assembly is fitting into a steel cage with porting that aligns with porting on the outside surface of the stacked disks. A seat can be inserted into the steel cage and the assembly inserted into the choke. A plug is then able to be moved axially within the choke to adjust the opening and closing of the porting in the stacked disk assembly. The radial flow paths through the disks are offset from stage to stage, so that the flow impinges on surfaces as the flow progresses through the disks. The porting has a circular cross section to minimize wear and reduce stress risers.
