Swagelok Seal Plan Kits and Assemblies

Seal Plan Kits

Seal plan kits serve as a comprehensive collection of components facilitating the connection of the seal support plan to the pump. Each kit, complete with an engineered drawing, simplifies the standardization of plan connections during turnarounds or projects. Adhering to API best practices, these kits guide technicians on tubing bends, reducing elbow fittings and pipe threads to eliminate potential leak points.

Reliability and Maintenance by Design

Swagelok's design options incorporate high-point vents and low point drains in the seal support system, ensuring effective venting, preventing flow disruptions, and allowing quick purging of buffer, barrier, or flush fluids during pump downtime. The systems also offer pressure and temperature measurement instrumentation options to troubleshoot issues or enhance operational benefits.

Appropriate Flow Design

Maintaining proper flow and circulation through the support system and seal chamber is critical for effective seal operation. Swagelok's seal support systems are meticulously designed with accessible filters and strainers, bypass loops, and tubing runs adhering to best practices, ensuring continued fluid supply and minimizing maintenance issues.

System Safety Design

Swagelok's seal support system designs offer customization for challenging conditions, incorporating block-and-bleed valves on all instruments as recommended by API. Additional safety features include options such as two-valve manifolds or appropriate isolation on instruments, enhancing overall system safety and reliability.
