Chemicals and petrochemicals

Excellent gas sealing and proper installation help ensure the efficient and safe operation of your chemical plant systems. Patented and introduced in 1947, Swagelok tube fittings minimize process fluid leakage and operating costs.

Our associates use specialized tools to cut hoses and flexible tubing to precise lengths, then attach chosen end connections, pressure test, document results, and deliver those assemblies to you .

Regulators reduce the pressure of a gas or liquid from a source, such as a cylinder or compressor, to a lower value required by a device, such as an analyzer. If you have difficulty selecting your regulator, we offer a free 30-minute consultation with our regulator specialist Jean-Michel Molle.

Isolation valves are essential and must make a leaktight connection not only at the end connections, but also at the various gaskets in the valve. The choice of the different materials used within the valve is crucial and plays a key role in maintaining leak-free performance, even under heavy loads. Swagelok offers reliable, leak-free solutions for the selection of these components.

Since sulfur compounds react quickly with stainless steel surfaces, an accurate determination of these compounds is not possible when samples are collected and stored in untreated sample cylinders. Restek's Sulfinert® surface treatment creates a layer of inert silica on the surface of stainless steel, preventing active compounds from reacting with stainless steel. This results in greater stability against sulfur compounds and mercury . Many products are available with this coating directly from Swagelok.
