Model BEAP | Economical Angle Pattern Choke
Forum Energy Technologies (FET)
The FET Model BEAP is an economical angle pattern choke designed for reliable performance in wellhead and production applications requiring cost-effective flow control. Built to ANSI Class 1500 standards, it delivers dependable operation at working pressures up to 3,705 psi.
Featuring a self-impinging flow path and quarter-turn operation, the BEAP directs erosive flow away from critical components, improving durability. The valve supports both manual and automated operation, with a bonnet designed for actuator mounting.
With ceramic or tungsten carbide trim options and multiple bean sizes, the BEAP provides flexible flow control across a range of operating conditions.
Typical Applications:
Wellhead control, blowdown lines, line heaters, gas systems, and general choke service

PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES
Why the BEAP Performs Where It Counts
COST-EFFECTIVE PERFORMANCE
Designed as an economical option while maintaining critical performance features such as impinging flow and durable trim materials. Provides strong value for standard wellhead applications.
REDUCED EROSION THROUGH REDIRECTION
Self-impinging flow design directs high-energy fluid away from valve walls, reducing wear and extending service life.
READY FOR AUTOMATION & INTEGRATION
Bonnet is pre-configured for actuator mounting, allowing easy transition from manual to automated control without modification.
RELIABLE IN MODERATE TO HIGH PRESSURE
Engineered for Class 1500 service with consistent performance across a range of pressures and temperatures.
