Ensuring Reliable Deepwater Well Operations with Custom Solutions Kevin Gravouia, Upstream & Construction Sales Manager, Swagelok Louisiana Some of the highest-stakes offshore oil and gas activity takes place in the Gulf of Mexico, where world-leading oil extraction companies wrestle with some of ...

A Guide to Corrosion Resistant Materials, Compatibility and Inspection An offshore platform can have nearly 50,000 feet of tubing, more than 20,000 fluid system components, no fewer than 10,000 fittings, and as many as 8,000 mechanical connections. That’s why when selecting materials, it is importa...

Material selection plays a critical role in ensuring the safety, reliability, and productivity of fluid system components especially in demanding offshore environments. Exposure to corrosive elements, extreme temperatures, and high pressures require materials engineered to perform under stress. Swag...

How to Optimize Semiconductor Wafer Manufacturing Yield With Proper Thermal Control Brian Rudary, Applications Solutions Engineering Lead, Swagelok, and Doug Nordstrom, Product Manager, Swagelok Semiconductor wafer manufacturing grows more challenging by the day. As global demand for chips skyro...

Why System Performance Depends on Proper Tube Preparation Quality tubing and highly engineered fittings form some of the most critical connections in any refinery. A number of variables must be considered when ensuring each of these connections is optimal—material type, tube size, wall thickness, ...

How to Enhance Chemical Plant Safety With Relief Valves Shaji Arumpanayil, Product Manager, Swagelok Modern fluid systems in chemical plants and refineries can be vast, with countless feet of small-bore tubing branching in various directions to accomplish several important functions. With this co...

How to Use a Regulator to Reduce Time Delay in an Analytical System Mike Strobel, Field Engineering Supervisor Process measurements are instantaneous, but analyzer responses never are. From the tap to the analyzer, there is always a time delay. Unfortunately, this delay is often underestimated or ...

Process Measurement – Impulse Line Best Practices When measuring pressure, flow or level within your process, safety and accuracy are always the focus. From the tap to the transmitter, process measurement accuracy depends on the proper function of each component within the process instrumentation m...

Understanding and Measuring Time Delay in an Analytical Instrumentation System Time delay in sample systems is the most common cause of inappropriate results from process analyzers. Process measurements are instantaneous, but analyzer responses are not. There is always a time delay from the tap to ...

The 5 Most Common Revelations Experienced in Process Analyzer System Training Tony Waters, Sampling System Expert, Instructor A process analyzer sampling system is one of the most challenging systems within your plant. Not only is it challenging to design, it’s also challenging to operate accurate...
