Gas Distribution Systems
Improving Safety and Performance of Gas Systems
Backed by 70-plus years of fluid system expertise and a global network of pressure control advisors, Swagelok® is uniquely positioned to provide gas distribution systems and pressure control advisory services that help you ensure your facilities and sites are operating safely and efficiently.
Ensure safety
Designed to reduce the potential for gas leaks and maximize operator safety, Swagelok gas distribution systems are fully assembled and tested by certified fluid system experts. Systems are designed and labeled to be both easy to understand and safe to use.
Improve uptime and reliability
The design and quality of Swagelok gas distribution systems help ensure the reliability and uptime of your instruments. These systems allow ease of maintenance and troubleshooting to keep systems reliably delivering the pressure and flow required for each application.
Reduce cost
Swagelok gas distribution systems help maximize efficiency of gas usage and minimize costly leakage. Assembled prior to delivery with leak-tight Swagelok components and tested, these systems are constructed to provide long-lasting performance while helping you reduce operating costs.
Save time and resources
Certified pressure control experts at Swagelok design, assemble, and test gas distribution systems prior to delivery, limiting the need for you to build systems on site and allowing your specialists to focus their efforts elsewhere. The reliability of these systems can also lead to a reduced need for maintenance, saving you additional time and resources.
Choose From Modular Gas Distribution Subsystems
Swagelok® Source Inlet (SSI)
The source inlet establishes a connection between the high-pressure gas source and the distribution system. It is important the inlet is built with appropriate cylinder connections; hoses; tubing; filters; and vent, purge, and relief functions to ensure that gas can be safely fed into the primary gas pressure control or automatic changeover.
Swagelok® Gas Panel (SGP)
As the primary gas pressure control, the SGP completes the first pressure reduction of the source gas and ensures it is delivered at the correct flow rate to the next stage of the system. Pressure reduction is accomplished in either one stage with a single pressure regulator or two stages through a dual pressure regulator arrangement.
Swagelok® Changeover (SCO)
The automatic changeover system seamlessly switches from one gas source to another to ensure an uninterrupted supply. This is accomplished through staggered set points of two pressure regulators, allowing the system to continue to operate as the primary gas source is changed. Our changeover station allows for customer-specified changeover set points to help reduce wasted gas left in cylinders.
Swagelok® Point-of-Use (SPU)
The point-of-use provides the critical last stage of pressure control prior to the gas being used. These are often the least complex of the four main subsystems, typically having a pressure regulator, gauge, and isolation valve. Point-of-use systems offer a convenient and accurate method of adjusting pressure to meet test bench or equipment needs.
