Advantage at the Source: Gain greater thermal control, prevent contamination, and promote safe containment.
Advantage in the Gas Box: Shorten purge times, lengthen service life, and switch chemical delivery with optimal control.
Advantage at Point of Use: Achieve precision high temperature chemical delivery, greater dosing accuracy, and cleanliness.
Advantage at Exhaust Point: Purge excess chemistries, maintain optimum pressure, and command efficiency in the final stage of the process.
Assemblies for Speed & Savings: Our team of certified assembly technicians can build assemblies or subassemblies using Swagelok components, as well as other system components. In one case, our engineering team turned a client's pencil sketch into four thermocouple assemblies in two weeks.

Swagelok Company received the Lam Research's Supplier Excellence Award. Gases and Instrumentation Magazine awarded Swagelok the Golden Gas for its ALD Diaphragm valve.

Swagelok Field Engineers earn certification by completing hundreds of training hours with internationally renowned experts and passing dozens of exams. They re-certify every three years. Some earn additional certifications, such in process fluid sampling and pressure control.

For example, Stacey Phillips, MEng, has worked alongside hundreds of Swagelok customers over 18 years.

As Swagelok Northern California Director/General Markets she helps teams effectively manage hydrogen, improve plant operations, save on equipment assembly, make process fluid sampling reliable, and keep systems running for semi fabrication.
Previously, she served as Swagelok Field Engineering Manager/Americas. Your team can rely on her expertise in pressure control, process instrumentation and automation, valve selection, grab sampling, extending the life of rotating equipment, and more.
Earlier, she built a thriving Swagelok Custom Solutions practice in Canada. "In the early days, I would give a quote for equipment, then go in the back and build it," she says. That meant CAD design, building enclosures, configuring instrumentation, testing—whatever was needed.

Stacey holds a Master of Engineering (MEng) from University of Colorado, Boulder and a Bachelor of Science (BSc), Biomechanics from University of Alberta.
