From commonly used products to custom components and assemblies, everything we design, manufacture, and assemble is to ensure the highest level of application, process, and instrumentation integrity.
Our process and instrumentation valves in single-seat, ball, and other configurations provide reliability and require low maintenance. Swagelok®40 series and 60 series ball valves are known for durability and the ability to suit a wide range of system conditions in water and wastewater treatment plants. Also, turn to us for check valves, needle and metering valves, relief valves, and plug valves.
Choose from a wide selection of gauges designed for all types of pressure and service conditions. Multiple-mount configurations make our gauges convenient to install. Also, find other measurement devices, including pressure transducers, flow sensors, and thermometers.
Weld precisely and consistently with the Swagelok® M200 orbital welding system, providing 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 of a fire hazard, helping your facility avoid incidents and injuries.
Find reliable tubing and accessories including support systems, swaging tools, tube benders, and tube cutting and preparation tools. Our catalogs are loaded with detailed product information, including materials of construction, pressure and temperature ratings, and many different tubing options so you can build systems that last.
We offer a variety of quick connects that enable fast, simple operation without twisting, turning, or wrenching. Engineered to minimize spillage and air inclusion so you can make connections with confidence, our complete quick connects line includes full-flow, instrumentation, miniature, and PTFE-sealed options.
Avoid particulate contaminants leading to inaccurate analyzer readings or other downstream problems. Our particulate filters and coalescing filters are designed to preserve the integrity of your water treatment and sampling processes.
Find rubber hose, thermoplastic hose, and PFA and vinyl flexible tubing for practically all pressure and temperature requirements. PTFE core hose and PFA core hose from Swagelok give you more chemically resistant options for low-pressure applications. Our sales and service centers are ready to assist you with assembly and other hose management services.
Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater Treatment
Troubleshooting the exact cause of system irregularities in an expansive and intricate water and wastewater treatment facility can be a big undertaking. Swagelok field specialists are well-equipped to make sense of your treatment processes. They can also help you verify that systems are set up for optimal efficiency, safety, and to capture and maintain the highest-integrity representative samples. Swagelok® engineering services are as varied as your needs.
Receive as much design support as you need. Our sales and service center associates can follow your existing design or work with you to develop a new one. Swagelok is also your source for fabricated solutions like valve control, lubrication, and pneumatic control panels, as well as chemical dosing and metering skids. Get CAD drawings, piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), component selection and sourcing, bills of materials, and professional testing, packaging, and delivery—all from one source.
Certified trainers can equip teams across your organization with the knowledge and confidence to solve fluid system challenges. We can coordinate training for your entire maintenance, innovation, and mechanical engineering teams including hose, valve, and regulator selection and troubleshooting, fitting assembly, proper tube bending, as well as how to choose the right corrosion-resistant materials. In-depth, hands-on courses are taught by veteran instructors recognized for their exceptional skills.
Choosing the right corrosion-resistant materials helps keep fluid systems leak-tight. Learn which alloys resist corrosion and how industry standards impact your choices. Swagelok® materials science training is for engineers, supervisors, purchasing agents, technical associates, and anyone involved in the material selection process.
How We Support Water & Wastewater Treatment
Keeping Plants Online
Our goal is to keep your water or wastewater treatment plant online with proven products and onsite services that enable more productive, safe, and efficient operations. Customers worldwide trust Swagelok field engineering teams to help them diagnose issues, maintain high-precision processes, and provide a faster return to service for vital assets.
Swagelok specialists possess technical knowledge specific to the water and wastewater treatment industry and are well-versed in local regulations and governing agencies
Local professionals can evaluate leakage at your facility and provide you with a full detailed report, highlighting corrective actions
Our network of sales and service centers provides you with fast access to a skilled workforce when you need it most
Ask your sales and service center about one-part-number project kits (loosely assembled or fully kitted) that support easier procurement for municipalities and requestors
Inventory management programs are another way we are different—onsite consignment cabinets and special stocking arrangements can help your teams work more efficiently so you spend less
Combatting Corrosion
Corrosion can be the result of high acidity levels in wastewater or caused by increased alkalinity, which reduces calcium carbonate solubility, leading to scaling. Both scenarios can spell costly problems for plants with fluid systems to maintain. We can support your treatment facility with corrosion-resistant materials as well as corrosion training sessions to help educate your staff on best practices and preventive measures.
It can be hard to find certain components composed of specific alloys. Swagelok materials scientists can help you choose between many fluid system products made from special materials like 316 stainless steel, alloy 2507, and 6 Moly alloys that provide far stronger corrosion resistance than ordinary options.
Our 316 stainless steel tube fittings use more nickel and chromium than is required by American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM International) standard specifications. Enabling leak-tight performance in every application is our top priority.
Process inefficiencies and equipment breakdowns lead to costly downtime. Leverage our extensive knowledge of corrosive environments to solve everyday fluid system challenges—and the challenges you do not see every day.
We can help your teams understand the different types of corrosion and their causes. Knowing where to look—and what corrosion looks like—can help you fight back against material failures and costly repairs.
Risk Reduction
Our product quality has been trusted for more than seven decades. We know that product quality alone will not ensure leak-tight system functionality, which is why we are willing to help design a comprehensive training plan for your staff. Investing in your people can demystify fluid systems, boost morale, reduce time and material waste, and increase productivity. We are a leader in helping to reduce risk across industries that rely on absolute fluid system integrity.

Our comprehensive training programs further equip your teams with practical skills to work safer and more effectively each day
Fluid system design can be complex, requiring many considerations. It may not always be readily apparent which valve is right for your application. Do you need to stop and start flow? Or control the direction or flow level? Our experts answer some of the most common questions.
There are steps companies can take to prevent rust that first require an understanding of the different types of corrosion and their causes. Knowing where to look—and what corrosion looks like—can help you fight back against material failures and costly repairs.
Following best practices can help technicians avoid common defects that can compromise the integrity of even the simplest tube bends. It is important to identify where tube bends are most applicable in your systems. Doing this can save your business time, labor, and money.
Fluid systems can be complex, presenting an array of apparent and not-so-obvious risk areas. How can you be sure that all parts of your system are operating safely and reliably when failure is not an option? Our handy checklist is printable so you can hang it throughout your plant.
This calculator can be used to help select a valve with enough flow capacity for a given application. The valve flow coefficient (Cv) is a convenient way to represent flow capacity of a valve. Calculate Cv or flow based on fluid, inlet and outlet pressure, and fluid temperature.
