Excellence In Manufacturing

Swagelok Sub-Saharan Africa Services Tube Fitting Advantage Manufacturing process

To achieve the goal of reliability and safety, Swagelok is very deliberate about the machines we invest in. We are always concerned with total cost of ownership (maintenance, uptime, training), automation to minimise errors, tooling control to achieve precise tolerances, tightly managed manufacturing and inspection processes, and strict material/part segregation.

Swagelok has international patents and patents pending on a number of methods developed for producing uniform, very hard, and corrosion-resistant stainless steels. These methods employ carbon solution, hardened surface treatments essentially lacking in metal carbide precipitates that can permit corrosion. Case carburisation or case hardening is accomplished by elevating the temperature of stainless steel to allow free carbon diffusion into its surface, resulting in a uniform hard layer on the metal.

PROCESSES INCLUDE:

Stringent, patented manufacturing process:

- Case carburisation

- Uniform hard metal layer

- Patented geometry and hinging action

TRACEABILITY:

Raw material traceability is an integral part of Swagelok’s overall quality system throughout all phases of material receipt, manufacturing, processing, storage, and delivery.

SWAGELOK LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY

Unlike other tube fitting warranties that only cover the replacement of the fittings, the Swagelok Limited Lifetime Warranty covers the replacement and installation of any parts that fail through an unlikely defect in material or workmanship.
