The HDI 1522 Choke Position Indicator System is an electronic instrument designed to accurately measure and display the position of choke valves used in oil and gas production. Choke valves regulate the flow of oil, gas, or water from wells by adjusting the degree of restriction in the pipeline, which directly affects pressure control and production rates. The 1522 system provides highly precise position readings in one percent increments, ranging from fully closed (0%) to fully open (100%), enabling better management of well performance and enhanced safety.

This system uses solid-state electronics to convert mechanical valve movement into electronic signals via various potentiometer types—including linear, rotary, and retractable options—making it adaptable to a wide variety of choke valve designs and configurations. The position data is presented on a four-inch liquid crystal display that combines a numeric readout with a linear bar graph, allowing clear and immediate visualization of the choke’s exact position. The display is engineered for visibility from distances up to fifteen feet, suitable for typical field environments.

Powered by an internal, field-replaceable battery with approximately one year of continuous operation, the 1522 system minimizes maintenance requirements and eliminates the need for complex wiring. It also offers optional analog output signals, such as 4-20 mA or 0-1 V, enabling seamless integration with plant control systems, programmable logic controllers, data acquisition systems, or remote display units for centralized monitoring and automation.

The enclosure is constructed from UV-stabilized, impact-resistant polycarbonate and PBT alloy materials to ensure durability in harsh outdoor conditions. It is rated to operate reliably within a wide temperature range from -40°F to 176°F (-40°C to 80°C). The internal electronics are protected by a gasket seal to prevent dust and moisture ingress, maintaining performance and longevity.

Installation flexibility is enhanced through support for cable lengths up to 1,500 feet, allowing the gauge to be mounted in the most accessible or secure locations. Multiple sensor housing options and connector orientations simplify field installation and reduce the need for onsite customization, helping to minimize downtime and installation costs.

The 1522 Choke Position Indicator System delivers accurate, real-time choke valve position information in a robust, easy-to-install package. Its reliable performance, flexible integration capabilities, and low maintenance design support improved flow control, safer operations, and optimized production.

Hex Reducing Couplings Female NPT are precision pipe fittings designed to connect two pipes of different sizes while maintaining a secure, leak-tight connection. The female NPT threads provide a tapered seal that ensures a tight fit when connected to a male NPT thread, making them suitable for high-pressure systems up to 10,000 PSI. The hex shape of the coupling allows for easy tightening with standard tools, providing both convenience and reliability during installation.

Reducing couplings are specifically used when there is a need to transition between different pipe sizes in a system, allowing for flexibility in design and modification of existing pipelines. They help maintain proper flow rates, pressure, and system integrity without the need for custom fittings. This makes them essential in oil and gas systems where varying pipe sizes are common.

These couplings are manufactured from high-quality materials and are compliant with recognized standards, including ASME B1.20.1, SAE AS71051, ISO 7-1, and ISO 228, ensuring consistency, traceability, and durability in demanding applications. Hex Reducing Couplings Female NPT are ideal for situations where space is limited and a reliable connection between different pipe sizes is required, supporting both operational safety and system efficiency.

The Tube Fittings Male Elbow ISO Tapered Thread is a 90° angled fitting designed to connect tubing in systems where a change of direction is required. It features ISO standard tapered threads that create a tight, leak-resistant seal without the need for additional gaskets. Manufactured from high-quality materials, the fitting ensures durability and consistent performance under vibration, pressure fluctuations, and harsh industrial conditions.

Its compact elbow design allows for space-efficient installations, making it suitable for piping layouts with limited room. The fitting is precision-machined for proper alignment and easy assembly, ensuring the tubing sits securely and maintains a smooth flow path. Typical applications include oil and gas systems, chemical plants, and other process industries where reliable flow direction changes are essential. The male elbow also simplifies maintenance and reconfiguration since it can be easily disassembled and reinstalled without compromising the seal.

The Gauge Root Valve Male x Female 1/4” NPT is designed to provide reliable isolation and control for pressure measurement instruments in chemical, petrochemical, and oil and gas applications. It allows a secure connection between the process line and pressure gauges, ensuring accurate readings while preventing backflow and leakage. This size is commonly used where compact instrumentation connections are needed, offering precise control in tight piping configurations.

The valve is constructed and tested according to ASME B16.34 for pressure and temperature ratings and complies with ISO 9001, PED, and ATEX standards, confirming quality and suitability for use in hazardous or pressurized environments. It has a standard working pressure of 6000 PSI, with higher pressures available upon request. The metal-to-metal body and bonnet seal ensures high-pressure and temperature performance, and the self-centering, non-rotating stem tip provides consistent shutoff for leak-free operation.

Additional design features include a simple, adjustable gland retainer for stable packing, a back seat for added security, a removable T-handle for low torque operation, and a dust cap to protect the stem from contamination. All valves are 100% factory tested for seat and packing leakage using nitrogen gas at 1000 PSI, ensuring reliable performance. This valve is ideal for isolating and protecting pressure measurement instruments.

The Double Block and Bleed Valve with Flange x Thread connections and Ball x Ball isolation with Needle Drain is a compact assembly designed to provide dual isolation in oil and gas systems. The two ball valves ensure reliable upstream and downstream shutoff, while the needle drain allows controlled venting, sampling, or pressure release between the isolation points. This design reduces the number of flanged joints and potential leak paths, improving safety and reliability in instrument and process applications.

The valve is available in sizes from ½ inch to 2 inch and pressure classes from 150 to 2500, making it suitable for a wide range of process conditions. It can be manufactured in various materials including SS 316, SS 316L, Duplex, Super Duplex, Hastelloy, Inconel, and Monel, and can be supplied to meet NACE MR-01-75 requirements. The assembly is built to recognized standards including ASME B16.34, API 6D, and ISO 17292 and is tested to ensure proper operation, minimal leakage, and long service life.

This valve is ideal for instrument isolation, gauge protection, chemical injection, sampling connections, and other applications where safe and reliable dual isolation is required. Its compact and integrated design reduces installation complexity, simplifies system layout, and provides a safer and more efficient solution compared to assembling individual valves.

In oil and gas systems, controlling the direction of fluid flow is critical to protect pipelines, pumps, and equipment. The 1/4" poppet type check valve with female × female NPT connections provides reliable uni-directional flow, preventing backflow and maintaining system integrity.
