How Our Services Benefit Customers
Consider how our fluid system evaluation and advisory services can relieve various pressures on your business based on the successes others have experienced.
What to Expect When Fluid System Specialists Visit
When Swagelok field engineers arrive at your facility, they will start by conducting a site survey in which they evaluate specific components such as fittings, tubing, hoses, valves, pressure regulators, and gauges, looking for opportunities to align with best practices to ensure fluid system operation. This includes evaluating compressed gas systems for leaks and assessing overall fluid system health to identify opportunities to maximize uptime and increase safety.
Throughout the process, these fluid system specialists will capture details of their observations in the proprietary Swagelok onsite inspection mobile application, cataloging notes and photos as well as key fluid system operating statistics. From there, they will produce a comprehensive report that identifies key issues and recommends prioritized solutions. With your preferences in mind, this report typically includes:
- Estimated costs of existing, unrepaired leaks
- Areas of concern categorized by severity
- Photos that clearly identify locations of problems
- Steps that can be taken to remedy issues
What is Compressed Gas Leak Detection?
