Material difference: Only the highest grades of stainless steel can resist the introduction and diffusion of hydrogen molecules into the material. Swagelok 316 stainless steel is specifically formulated to overcome hydrogen embrittlement with enhanced strength and corrosion resistance.

Local inventory: We have listed only a few hydrogen-compatible products here. We also offer manifolds, Monel (Alloy 400) products, measurement devices, tubing supports, and orbital welding systems, for example. Get the free Swagelok Hydrogen-Compatible Components Guide for details.

Simplify selection: Get in touch for a hand choosing a product with the performance characteristics to last in your challenging application. Our staff can check stock, answer technical questions, recommend ways to save, help with product selection, expedite your order, and more.

Rigorous testing: We pressure test (hydro and/or pneumatic) every assembly down to 1.0 x 10-6. We also offer mass spectrometer leak detection using a Pfeiffer helium leak detector, with capability of up to 2.5 x 10-6 atm*cc/sec leak rate detection depending on the test. Both inboard and outboard testing are available.

Comprehensive support: Before fabrication, we check over your design or collaborate with you to create one. We can fabricate anything with fluid system components on it. Assemblies are ready to install and covered by the same Swagelok warranty as our individual parts. We are even onsite to answer questions at installation.

Maximum value: We use safe, reliable Swagelok components (and additional parts as needed). Our economical designs specify the fewest possible parts and connections. When lead time is short, we work to accelerate your project. Opt for final testing using gas, hydrostatic, or helium leak test equipment.

Design Advice on Fluid Systems
GetHelpwithAnalyzersandSampling

Fluids focused: We apply fluid system expertise to help hydrogen producers, alternative energy companies, hydrogen infrastructure developers, vehicle manufacturers, and others meet the challenges of containing and transferring hydrogen. To advise you we consider plant safety, output quality, maintenance routines, and cost of ownership.

Helium testing: For mass spectrometer leak detection we use a Pfeiffer helium leak detector with capability of up to 2.5 x 10-6 atm*cc/sec leak rate detection depending on the test performed. Both inboard and outboard detection testing are available. We can helium leak test assemblies in our Edmonton shop or onsite with you.

Global network: There are dozens of certified Swagelok Field Engineers around the world, and Swagelok Edmonton's Field Advisors are part of a network connecting them all. To bring you extra value, Field Engineers/Advisors check solutions with each other and optimize according to peer review.

Hosted or onsite: Every individual and operation can improve, and the right training can quickly pay for itself. Taught at our Edmonton training facility or onsite at your facility, our seminars provide the foundational knowledge and techniques needed to build and operate high-performing fluid systems.

Safety and savings: Addressing leaking valves is probably the single quickest way to improve, research suggests. Depending on the size of your facility, there may be anywhere from 100 to over 40,000 valves installed, according to a widely referenced US EPA report. You can save by tightening up.

Inclusive training: Some Essentials seminars are designed to help installers and maintenance technicians be safe and efficient. Other Essentials seminars aim to help managers, engineers, and quality control make sure systems have been done correctly.

Reviews from Swagelok Customers

PDC Machines manufacturers specialty hydrogen compressors for a variety of emerging hydrogen mobility applications. "Swagelok is the only brand and partner that we use throughout for tube fitting systems. It's not a supplier-vendor customer relationship; we view them as a partner for everything. We use them for our tube fittings we use them for our valves, instrumentation, fittings… we use it all over all of the products that we make."

"In order to avoid having to designate our laboratory an explosive zone, laborious and complex fittings had be used in the past, which had a massive impact on costs. For the mobility demonstrator we were able to use new types of fittings in cooperation with Swagelok, and initiate the process with approval authorities to classify these fittings as permanently tight."

A leading hydrogen refueling station and onboard fuel system manufacturer in China is keeping pace with the rapidly evolving hydrogen transportation market with help from Swagelok. “We mainly purchase the Swagelok tube fittings, valves, and tubing as the key components in the hydrogen supply system and an integral part in the stability of our products."

Luxfer Gas Cylinders is working with Swagelok to create zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell systems for commercial bus fleets. Swagelok® tube fittings and valves are critical elements of a Luxfer fuel-delivery system that connects the gas cylinders of hydrogen-fuel buses. “Last week actually we we got a new tender for 30 buses and we had to deliver the buses in six weeks. Within 24 hours Swagelok had the fittings on the Nottingham site for us."
