Scientific Breakthroughs, Advanced Technology, Extraordinary Performance
A patented case hardening process and patented recessed and contoured geometry provide unique engineering to the Swagelok back ferrule. The hinging-colleting back ferrule design expands on the already robust performance of the traditional ferrule design and provides:

  • excellent gas-tight sealing and tube-gripping action
  • easily achieved proper installation
  • consistent remakes
  • excellent vibration fatigue resistance and tube support
  • full compatibility with original Swagelok stainless steel tube fittings of identical sizes.

Performance Testing
Swagelok performs tube fitting product testing to help ensure extraordinary performance under a wide variety of conditions critical to industry. Product testing includes:

  • Hydrostatic pressure testing tube grip
  • Nitrogen gas pressure testing gas seal
  • Rotary flex testing vibration resistance
  • Thermal shock and high temperature resistance testing
  • Corrosion testing

Hydrostatic and nitrogen gas pressure testing are performed on a regular basis to ensure consistent product performance. Representative results of these tests are published in our product test reports.

Field Testing
Swagelok tube fittings minimize fugitive emissions, as well as process fluid leakage and operation costs. From 1999 through 2004, more than 250 000 fittings in gas service at more than 400 different process installations were leak tested with Swagelok Snoop® liquid leak detector. Contact your authorized Swagelok sales and service representative for more information or to schedule a survey for your facility.
