Examples

Swagelok assembly services solve a range of fluid system problems.

Design

Swagelok Engineers Redesign Panels for Tight Space

  • Problem—A customer had tried several configurations to fit panels into a limited space, but every configuration had drawbacks. Assemblies that met their requirements always turned out too big.
  • Root cause analysis—With a few hours of teamwork, Swagelok field engineers provided an optimized the design that streamlined the panel to fit the small space and met all technical requirements.
  • Solution—Among other changes, our engineers replaced the older design’s needle valves, being used for on/off service, with quarter-turn shut-off valves. That made the overall assembly more compact.

Pinpointing the Root Cause of Bad Data

  • Problem—A customer who was experiencing longer-than-anticipated response times on its analyzer called in Swagelok field engineers. Our team performed a system evaluation.
  • Root cause analysis—Fluid was changing phase multiple times as it traveled from tap to analyzer. Phase changes in a sampling line can deliver a sample to the analyzer that is not representative of the process, and as a result, the customer was making process changes based on inaccurate analytical data.
  • Solution—With Swagelok's help the customer eliminated all phase changes, improved its response time, and ensured representative results.

What to expect

Every engagement is different, but generally these are the steps.

1. Design

We listen to understand your application, goals, and challenges. Topics might include pressures, temperatures, dimensional requirements, presence of hazardous or flammable materials, and operator/maintenance access. We offer options and a quote. This is a collaborative process.

2. Fabrication

After the design is finalized and approved, certified technicians handle fabrication. To become certified, technicians produce dozens of samples, each of which is inspected by Swagelok manufacturing engineers and put through destructive testing. Passing requires a 100% score.

3. Testing

Every assembly is pressure tested with water to ensure high performance. We also offer helium leak testing, hydrostatic testing, nitrogen pressure testing, and pressure decay testing. The rigorous assembly process and 100% testing ensures high quality every time.

4. Delivery

We clean and either cap or bag the assembly to ensure contaminants are not introduced into your fluid system from the assembly. A test certificate is packaged with each assembly. Orders ship daily or can be picked up in Fremont.

Specialists in your corner

Our assembly services are ideal if you're short on time or need specialists' skills to produce a fluid system assembly unique to your application. Consultation, design, fabrication, inspection, testing, and documentation are included. Your assembly arrives ready to install and is covered by the same warranty as our individual parts.

Scaling to your needs

We welcome projects large and small. One customer may need, say, 500 gas panels with custom bottle racks and shelters. Another may need one hose assembled or one piece of tubing bent. We jump on both opportunities with enthusiasm. Our ability to scale is one reason thousands of companies, from manufacturers and processors to researchers and suppliers, turn to Swagelok Assembly Services.

Listening

Swagelok specialists listen to understand the exact functionality your system requires. We also listen to you regarding any time pressure, space constraints, installation concerns, regulatory demands, and other factors.

Designing

We provide a sales or CAD drawing of your assembly, a technical quotation, firm pricing, and delivery information. We design to provide a reliable, economical solution that meets all requirements.

Fabricating

Swagelok installers assemble Swagelok components (and, sometimes, non-Swagelok components) to build your assembly to spec. This includes all needed cutting, bending, swaging, welding, electrical wiring termination, and other steps needed. Basically, we can fabricate anything with fluid system components on it.

Testing

Every assembly undergoes at least pressure or leak testing before leaving our shop. We can leak test in house with hydro, pneumatic and helium leak test equipment, down to 1x10-6. Our tight tolerances are especially important to process analyzer specialists and those overseeing hazardous applications. Because we handle testing in house, we have flexibility when it comes to modifying components, doing repairs, and the like. We can even take a unit into the field for testing.

Getting details right

We can assemble, kit, and package in our Class 100 clean room if needed. We can fabricate shelters, enclosures, test headers, bottle racks, and other extras to simplify installation. We can add instructions, tags, labels, diagrams, mounting brackets, and other features to support safe operation and maintenance. And if you have questions during installation or commissioning, we are here to help.

A quality-first brand

A trusted brand stands behind each Swagelok fluid system assembly. Swagelok is a $2.4B company founded in 1947. Our quality management systems, values-driven people, and high quality products combine to help ensure consistency and value.
