Request More InformationSwagelok provides broad support for process fluid sampling applications, offering pre-engineered and fully assembled analytical instrumentation systems and subsystems, fluid system components, and supporting services.
Swagelok offers a series of predesigned and preassembled analytical instrumentation subsystems for use in all types of plants and facilities where fluids are being processed. Use Swagelok pre-engineered subsystems to create fully documented fluid sampling and control systems and bring consistency to your operations. Easy to install and operate, Swagelok pre-engineered subsystems feature the high-quality design and performance you expect from Swagelok and are backed by the Swagelok Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Our application engineers can design and build any fluid system solutions using high-quality Swagelok fluid system components. Our systems can be semi- or fully-automated using programmable logic controllers (PLC), transmitters, relays, pumps, sensors, and more. Examples include:
- Pre-engineered subsystems (PrESS) for analytical applications
- Gas distribution systems
- Grab sampling systems
- Mechanical seal support systems
We also provide a large suite of individual fluid system components designed for ideal performance in sampling equipment and process analysis applications, including fittings, valves, hoses, measuring devices, regulators, sample cylinders, and time-saving analytical modular platform components.
We also want to ensure you have access to specialists with the knowledge needed to help you achieve your process analysis-related goals. We draw upon our expertise in analytical processes and analytical instrumentation to deliver support in the form of:

Locate detailed product information, including materials of construction, pressure and temperature ratings, options, and accessories.
Features: Designed for handling long transport lines from tap to analyzer; Minimum pressure drop for fastest response time; Interlocking handles help prevent incorrect sequence of operation
Seal Support Systems are each designed for a specific mechanical seal and set of process conditions. These systems supply either a gas or a liquid to the mechanical seal to regulate the environment in which the seal operates, protecting rotating equipment from damage. Swagelok seal support systems rely on the guidance provided by API 682: Pumps - Shaft Sealing Systems for Centrifugal and Rotary Pumps.
Features: Provide multiple valve operations in a single, compact unit; Require fewer tubing connections than conventional systems; Save cabinet space and installation time; Include 316 stainless steel valve and actuator
Features: Is a highly configurable unit built with Swagelok modular platform component (MPC) products; Performs final conditioning of sample before analysis; Selects from up to 10 sample and 2 calibration streams using the Swagelok stream selector system (SSV series)
MPC Series: ANSI/ISA 76.00.02-compliant design, 38.2 mm (1.5 in. platform); easy to configure, assemble, and maintain; valves, filters, flowmeters, regulators, and pressure gauges, as well as adapters for additiional surface-mount components
Grab sampling is the collecting of a sample of fluid or gas in a system with the intent of transporting the sample to a laboratory for analysis. Use Swagelok application solutions to create fully documented fluid sampling and control systems and bring consistency to your operations.
Features: Preconditions a gas sample at the extraction point; Is highly configurable to match process conditions; Can mount directly to sample nozzles
Gas distribution systems work to deliver gases from a high-pressure source to the facility at the pressure and flow rate required by each application. Most often built around one or a series of pressure regulation steps, gas distribution systems can have four typical subsystems: Source Inlet Connection, Primary Gas Pressure Control, Automatic Changeover, and Point-of-Use. This guide provides information on Swagelok's gas distribution system offerings.
Features: Wide range of probes for various applications; Probe interlocks protect equipment; Valve interlocks improve safety of operation
Features: Provides double-block-and-bleed (DBB) operation in a single compact module; Conventional NPT and ANSI/ISA 76.00.02 compatible designs; System pressures to 250 psig (17.2 bar) with 40 psig (2.8 bar) actuation pressure; Integrated flow loop to provide consistent outlet
Components: 1.5 in. (38.1 mm) C-seal modular design; Valves: manual and pneumatic diaphragm and bellows-sealed designs; Regulators: manual and preset, high-flow models; Gaskets: C-seal style for 1-, 2-, and 3-port configurations
Versatile manifold for gas and liquid applications; Swagelok components for reliability; Fluid distribution headers can be connected inline to create longer lengths.
