Swagelok gas distribution systems are designed for the most reliable and efficient pressure regulation. These systems are structured around one or a series of pressure regulation steps and may include one of the following subsystems.
Subsystems
1. Swagelok® Source Inlet (SSI)
The Swagelok Source Inlet (SSI) provides the flexibility to connect multiple sources to a single regulator panel. This subsystem is essential for ensuring a continuous and reliable gas supply from different sources, making it easier to manage and maintain gas distribution systems.
2. Swagelok® Gas Panel (SGP)
The Swagelok Gas Panel (SGP) offers options for single or dual-stage pressure regulation. It includes components such as isolation valves, filters, and relief valves to ensure precise control and safety in gas distribution. These panels are customizable to meet specific application requirements, providing both flexibility and reliability.
3. Swagelok® Changeover (SCO)
The Swagelok Changeover (SCO) subsystem is designed to automatically switch between two gas sources when one of the sources depletes. This feature ensures a continuous supply of gas and simplifies the process of changing cylinders or sources, reducing downtime and enhancing operational efficiency.
4. Swagelok® Point-of-Use (SPU)
The Swagelok Point-of-Use (SPU) subsystem provides the final pressure control for a piece of equipment. It ensures that the gas pressure is precisely regulated at the point of use, optimizing performance and safety for the equipment and the overall system.
