Why Swagelok Tube Fittings?

Swagelok tube fittings are the industry standard. Swagelok has a rich history of innovation, and is recognized worldwide for its superior range Tube Fitting. If you are looking for the best in design, installation and maintenance of fluid systems, Swagelok meet and exceed all requirements of connecting tube. Swagelok answer the four questions most expensive and critical fluid systems: improper installation, vibration, leakage, thermal shock, by offering a reliable product with excellent durability gaugeable and easy maintenance. The Swagelok fittings are available in a range of materials and configurations (from 1 / 16 to 2inches, and 2-50mm) to meet all your needs.

Swagelok offers easy to install, live-loaded, two-ring design, with a gap inspection gauge that provides instant assurance that a connection was tight enough on the installation. The gauge control spacing gives the installer or inspector that a fitting immediate feedback has been sufficiently tightened. An additional advantage is that no torque is transmitted to tubing during installation. Swagelok fittings are easily installed with hand tools, and are as easy to disconnect and tighten, making maintenance easy. Swagelok has developed and patented the innovative original two-ferrule tube fitting, which ensure reliability, tight connections in thousands of different applications. Swagelok tube fittings are constantly gaugeable - this error reduced installation and ensures easy maintenance.

In addition, a patented hardening process applied to the back of the ring ensures that the Swagelok tube fittings can be used on a variety of thick or thin-walled, rigid or flexible tube, which minimizes the effects vibration, and resists the effects of pressure and thermal cycling. The vibration is provided by Swagelok Tube Fitting design that has a stress concentration protected by the patented back ferrule geometry, reducing the damage caused by system conditions and reduce the harmful effects of the system dynamics. Provided you use good quality tubes, Swagelok will not leak, even under difficult conditions. Gas is sealed by a contact burnishing or polishing of the front ring with the fitting body and tube - which creates a concentrated area of ​​contact, and allows a superior seal on a wide range of system conditions.
