Hi, everyone.
I have received a query from choke valve vendor as below.
I was just advising that cavitation is only an issue when the process fluid is just water! We are aware that oil/gas/water are present and therefore do not predict any cavitation occurring.
It is different with my understanding. Generally, mixed service applys to choke valves in piping of production manifold. Therefore, erosion control is very important. Vendor may also be aware of it more than me. Why do they ask as above?
Please let me know your opinion. Your reply would be highly appreciated. Thanks,
