Tube Fitting Installation Training
Swagelok® Tube Fitting Installation Course Overview:
Learn foundational tube fitting knowledge that promotes system integrity and minimizes leakage risks. The course covers proper tube selection, cutting, and deburring; assembly of Swagelok® tube fittings; and gauging a tube fitting assembly.
The installation process combined with proper selection of tube fittings is essential to reliable tubing systems. In this in-depth training, attendees will receive hands-on practice in the proper use, installation, and maintenance of Swagelok tube fittings, including theoretical aspects of "Tube versus Pipe", whereby careful attention is paid to safety throughout.
This course is designed for individuals responsible for assembling, maintaining, or troubleshooting fluid systems, including technicians, engineers, field and service professionals, new hires, apprentices, safety and operations staff, and supervisors overseeing system performance.
COURSE DURATION: 1-DayTarget Audience:
- The morning period, based in a classroom environment, covers the theoretical half of the course and includes a written examination.
- The afternoon session is centred around a practical workshop where students demonstrate their understanding of the theory by fabricating a burst test loop.
