Products for the Power Industry

Our fluid system products are supported worldwide by 200-plus authorized Swagelok sales and service centers and are backed by the Swagelok Limited Lifetime Warranty. From commonly used products to custom components and assemblies, everything we design, manufacture, and build is to ensure the highest level of application, process, and instrumentation integrity. Swagelok invests ahead of market demand to support product availability, increasing capacity, deepening inventory, and reinforcing supplier resilience. These actions position us to deliver consistent availability, shorter lead times, and dependable supply, regardless of market conditions, to help you operate without disruption.

This page highlights only a few of the products available for fuel delivery, gas distribution, steam sampling, water sampling, CEMS, lube oil, and other critical power plant systems. We also provide solutions for assets like boilers, generators, industrial gas turbines, and an array of rotary equipment. Many products are designed to ASME nuclear codes and standards.

Fittings

Leak-tight fittings are fundamental to a worry-free operation. The Swagelok name is synonymous with safety and dependability. Find tube fittings, transmitter calibration fittings, PFA fittings, and more for standard applications or where reactive and corrosive chemicals are a concern. Many alloys and configurations are available.

Valves

The true cost of a valve is what goes into maintaining or replacing it over time. Swagelok is a proven option for lasting performance. Turn to us for process and instrumentation ball valves (40, 60, GB series), check valves, needle and metering valves, relief valves, plug valves, bleed and purge valves, and bellows-sealed valves as well as manifolds and stream selector systems for process analyzer applications.

Small-Bore Tubing

We have the small-bore tubing to form the backbone of your fluid delivery system. Compared to conventional piping, small-bore tubing (up to 2 in. [50 mm] O.D.) reduces the number of connections and thus potential leak points for greater system integrity. No welding, cutting, or threading of pipe means less required labor, lower installed costs, and no fire watch needed. Using bends instead of elbows helps improve fluid flow.

Hoses and Flexible Tubing

Choose from a variety of core materials, reinforcement styles, and end connections to suit virtually any pressure and temperature requirement. Get bulk hose, hose assemblies, and custom hose lengths in sizes 1/8 to 2 in. Also find metal core hose rated to 1000°F and PTFE core hose to 450°F along with PFA and vinyl flexible tubing for even more chemically resistant options for low-pressure applications.

Regulators

Get precise control with the right pressure regulators. Swagelok pressure-reducing (spring-loaded or dome-loaded), back-pressure (spring-loaded and dome-loaded), and specialty regulators are capable of handling a wide range of pressures and flows to help you safeguard your facility.

Pressure Gauges

We have a variety of gauges designed for all conditions from low pressure to severe service. Multiple-mount configurations also make Swagelok gauges convenient to install. Additional measurement devices include pressure transducers, flow sensors, and thermometers.

Quick Connects

Connect quickly and with confidence using our wide variety of quick connect configurations to reduce spillage and air inclusion in your system. We offer full-flow, instrumentation, miniature, and PTFE-sealed Quick Connects.

Filters

Avoid particulate contaminants leading to inaccurate analyzer readings or other problems downstream with particulate filters and coalescing filters that are designed to preserve the integrity of your power plant processes.

Welding System

Weld precisely and consistently with our orbital welding system, which provides cost-effective, reliable orbital gas tungsten arc welds (GTAW) for both tubing and pipe. Make quality welds with fewer preparations than manual methods. Orbital welding also poses less fire hazards, helping you prevent incidents and injuries.
