Swagelok Edmonton provides specialized hose inspections aimed at uncovering issues that in-house teams may overlook. Our newly launched Hose Advisory Services page steps through what to expect from our thorough assessments and proactive maintenance.
Environmental factors, like extreme temperatures, can further age hoses. These elements can cause hoses to crack or become too stiff, potentially leading to breaks under pressure.
Regular inspection of hoses in your facility by Swagelok can uncover issues that in-house teams overlook. Our team includes specially trained Hose Advisors ready to examine each installed hose.
We check the material, size, type of connection, and length of each hose and document any signs of wear or damage. This level of detailed analysis helps in catching issues that might not be apparent to in-house teams.
Timing hose inspections with maintenance shutdowns
We recommend scheduling an inspection by Swagelok four to six weeks before your plant's next maintenance shutdown. This allows us to compile comprehensive data on all hoses and prepare hose-by-hose recommendations.
Our recommendations often involve a combination of fittings, valves, filters, and check valves that are pre-assembled to streamline the replacement process, reducing downtime and eliminating the need for additional parts runs.
Choosing Swagelok for regular hose inspections can lead to significant reductions in maintenance costs, extended hose life cycles, and improved safety. Our proactive management approach helps make managing your hose systems a worry-free part of your operations.
