repeatable installation.
Swagelok authorized sales and service
centers offer installation training
seminars that provide additional
information on:
■
The requirements for making safe,
leak-tight connections
■
A variety of tools and accessories
designed for use with Swagelok tube
ttings.
Corrosion
Swagelok tube ttings are available
in a variety of materials, including
optimized 316 stainless steel chemistry
with elevated nickel, chromium, and
other elements for superior corrosion
resistance in a variety of applications,
including chemical processing, sour
gas and subsea systems.
Swagelok has conducted tests in
accordance with ASTM B117-95 to
evaluate the corrosion resistance of
Swagelok tube ttings.
Contact your authorized Swagelok
representative for more information
about corrosion resistance test reports.
Intermix/Interchange
Swagelok recommends NO intermix/
interchange of Swagelok tube tting
components with other manufacturers’
components.
■
No industrial design standard
exists for two ferrule tube ttings.
Each company makes components
to its own design and not to any
recognized standards.
■
Interchanging and intermixing
tube tting components can result
in unpredictable performance,
environmental releases, increased
costs, and can be dangerous in
critical applications.
Thermal Shock
The elastic, live-loaded two-ferrule
design compensates for changes in
temperature during system start-up
and shutdown and helps eliminate
leakage related to rapid thermal
expansion or contraction.
Swagelok has conducted tests
that demonstrated the capability of
Swagelok tube ttings to withstand
thermal shock and high temperature.
Contact your authorized Swagelok
representative for more information
about thermal shock test reports.
Compliance with
Industry Standards
Swagelok Company works with
standards organizations around the
world to provide you with products that
address your needs.
Stainless steel Swagelok tube ttings
used with 316 stainless steel and 316 Ti
stainless steel alloy tubing as shown
in the table have been tested to the
requirements of ECE R110. In addition,
stainless steel Swagelok tube ttings
are available with EC-79 certication.
