duse

Explanation:
Comme il semble s<agir de puits :

choke = duse

A choke is a type of valve with a conical gate and matching seat concentric with the bore of the valve. The choke can be adjusted to give whatever orifice is required to provide a back pressure on the well in order to control it.

synonyme(s)
enrichisseur n. m.

Équivalent de volet de départ, mais il me semble qu'étrangleur est plus souvent utilisé
