A long-time standard for safety and reliability in the oilfield, Thornhill Craver UNIBOL OLT UNIBOLT Adjustable and Positive Chokes are designed for high performance
in critical applications such as gas wells with high pressure drops, abrasive flow and corrosive conditions.

The Thornhill Craver

Advantage...
Coupling vs. Threads for Safety
The UNIBOLT coupling between the body and yoke is a unique design feature that ensures superior reliability and safety over other methods. The connection is made by means of the UNIBOLT interlocking shelf design rather than by conventional threads or flanges. The UNIBOLT coupling between the body and yoke (adjustable chokes) and body and blanking plug (positive chokes) provides a higher degree of safety than conventional threads or flanges due to the greater amount of metal in shear. There are no threaded or flanged connections between component parts, and the choke may be dismantled quickly for change of stem seats or beans.

Variety of End Connections Available

Threaded; UNIBOLT Line Pipe or butt weld; flanged API or ANSI connections are available. Chokes may be ordered with combined end connections, and other manufacturers end connections are also available. Typically, other than threaded, the most economical is a choke body with UNIBOLT connections.

both directions and secures between the yoke and body. On both seal types, the yoke member pilot fits snugly into the body, centers the stem in the seat and minimizes vibration.

UNIBOL OLT The Thornhill Craver UNIBOLT Choke design is field proven in a wide range Available of applications. Available with alloy steel or 12% chrome stainless steel body, body, it is provided with a ring-groove taper-type or taper-type seal depending on size and pressure. Adjustable chokes are offered in four basic styles: Standard, Heater, Force Long Nose Heater, Force Balanced and Steam.

Easy Maintenance
Only common tools are required and there are no multiple bolts to loosen and remove. Parts are interchangeable and the seal ring is reusable. Installation, parts replacement, and other field work are simple. In adjustable chokes, ACME Power Threads on the reduced diameter of the stem facilitate insertion through the packing assembly. Chevron-type packing, compounded with Teflon requires no lubrication. The stem seat and gasket can easily be removed for inspection and replacement if necessary. For added safety, the stem can only be removed through the bottom of the yoke hub assembly.

PLUGLOK Bleeder Plug for Safety and Pressure Release

Every UNIBOLT Choke comes with the PLUGLOK safety system. The bleeder plug functions to indicate unexpected pressure as well as a means to relieve trapped body pressure. The bleeder plug insures safety because it must be removed before the nut member can be unlocked to open the choke for maintenance.

Beans are available in alloy steel or 12% chrome stainless steel. Beans with ceramic or tungsten carbide inserts are also available. UNIBOLT X beans are offered in orifice sizes less then 14/64 for more precise flow control in 10% increments (5% increments available between orifice sizes 6/64 and 14/64).

Stem Ring for Safety

A no-go ring is an integral part of the tip end to prevent separation of the stem and the bonnet assembly in the event that thread deterioration causes the stem to release in an upward motion.

Adjustable Choke Styles

Standard Adjustable Choke Stem and Seat Adjustable Chokes are designed for high performance in critical applications such as gas wells with high pressure drops, abrasive flow and corrosive conditions. Long Nose Heater Adjustable Choke When installed on an indirect heater, with the outlet end of the elongated choke body fastened directly to the tube bundle, the choke seat area is completely surrounded by the hot water which is primarily used to heat the tubes. The heat generated in this manner has a beneficial effect in minimizing the severe refrigerating action resulting from metering high pressure natural gas. Forced Balanced Adjustable Choke Designed to handle high-pressure, high-volume applications, it employs an innovative force-balanced arrangement which allows for very low operating torque. Adjustable Steam Choke Designed for use in steam injection and other high-temperature applications up to 800F.

UNIBOL OLT UNIB OLT Steel Couplings

Maximizing leverage for strong connections, Thornhill Craver UNIBOL OLT UNIBOLT Couplings are the highlightpressure, compact and lightweight alternative to API or ANSI flanges for piping systems. The UNIBOLT coupling ensures superior reliability and safety over other methods. The connection is made by means of the UNIBOLT interlocking shelf design rather than by conventional thread or flanges and provides a higher degree of safety then conventional threads or flanges due to the greater amount of metal in shear.

Standard Adjustable Choke

Supporting angle between nut member and plain hub equalizes pressure around the seal ring. Helical shelves in nut member wedge against external shelves on the lug hub, exerting tremendous pressure on the seal ring. Tee head bolt - when tightened, the helix angle of the shelves multiplies the bolt force approximately 6-1/2 times as it is transmitted to the seal ring. This force is further multiplied 3.2 times by the 18 included angle in the ring and groove seals. Since the helical angle self-locking, is self-locking, the bolt is under no stress after the initial tightening.

Seal ring squeezes tightly between plain hub and lug hub for a strong seal. Plain hub fits over pipe end to facilitate joining with another. another.
