Tubing You can Trust
For many applications, tubing should not be looked at as a commodity item. Companies use Swagelok tube fittings because they have confidence against leaks, but if a sub-standard tube bursts, the fitting can't do its job. High quality fittings deserve high quality tubing.
Through rigorous supplier selection and the processes required by the Swagelok Quality System, specifications and processes are in place to provide tubing that meets tough standards, exceeding ASTM requirements in several ways.
General industrial tubing does not often have the same standards as Swagelok tubing when it comes to important criteria like outside diameter (OD) variation, OD Finish polish requirements, hardness and wall thickness variation.
Our skilled Swagelok-certified field engineers and technical team can work with you to make sure specifications are met for your tubing needs and custom parts, including:
- Custom lengths and bent shapes including pre-swaged fittings and part to part connections
- Special alloys through collaboration with our approved suppliers
- Unique packages to make installation easier
- Training your team on effective, quality tubing preparation and bending
- Tooling to simplify your in-house preparation
Swagelok's strict tubing standards are outlined on the Tubing Data Sheet. Watch the video to learn more and download it here. In addition, overall supplier management is of the utmost importance to our offering.
- Quality audits are routinely performed to confirm that Swagelok-level standards are being achieved.
- Performance monitoring of all shipments helps to mitigate risk and promote continuous improvement.
By managing our tubing suppliers to this extent, you can feel confident that the tubing you receive is worthy of the Swagelok Limited Lifetime Warranty it carries. In addition, you will save time and effort with a single source, a single call to make, for the tubing and fittings needed for your company's fluid systems.
Whether you are looking for regular 316 stainless steel or a special alloy, in regular sticks or SC-11 cleaned, you can rest assured that it is the quality you have come to expect from Swagelok components.
