Why Select Higher Quality Tubing?

Tubing selection is a decision that should be taken seriously. Fluid systems have the potential to reach high temperatures and pressures, which can make operating them unsafe if the proper steps aren't taken to mitigate system failures.

Did you know that Swagelok Tube Fittings can't be used on just any tubing?

Swagelok Tube Fittings require an acceptable tolerance for tubing specifications, which is requested from our suppliers, and verified during inspection. If tubing OD is below tolerance and is too small, then the ferrules won't properly swage onto the tubing. If the tubing OD is above tolerance, and is too big, then the ferrules may not swage properly — both cases may result in leakage even when following the proper installation procedure.
