When gas distribution system operation is not intuitive, when leaks are present, or when gas panels are difficult to service, operational efficiency suffers. Overlooked leaks of costly gases can also reduce your profits and create safety hazards for your team members. Swagelok® gas distribution evaluation and advisory services involve fluid system advisors providing critical analysis to help you avoid these issues, informing proper regulator selection, identifying system upgrade opportunities, and guiding the design and assembly of customized gas delivery solutions.
Learn how Swagelok field engineers can work with you to evaluate your gas distribution systems
Following a thorough assessment of your gas delivery systems, you will receive a full report that documents:
- System performance and fitness for function of existing componentry
- Required versus. actual flow rates
- Compressed gas leaks and the money that is lost
- Safety, environmental, and reliability scoring for each system
- Areas for improvement and suggestions for suitable solutions to identified problems
- Recommendations to help maximize gas bottle usage

Choose From Modular Gas Distribution Subsystems
Swagelok® Changeover (SCO)
The automatic changeover system seamlessly switches from one gas source to another to ensure an uninterrupted supply. This is accomplished through staggered set points of two pressure regulators, allowing the system to continue to operate as the primary gas source is changed. Our changeover station allows for custom changeover set points to help reduce wasted gas left in cylinders.
Swagelok® Gas Panel (SGP)
As the primary gas pressure control, the SGP completes the first pressure reduction of the source gas and ensures it is delivered at the correct flow rate to the next stage of the system. Pressure reduction is accomplished in either one stage with a single pressure regulator or two stages through a dual pressure regulator arrangement.
Swagelok® Point-of-Use (SPU)
The point-of-use system provides the critical last stage of pressure control prior to the gas being used. These are often the least complex of the four main subsystems, typically having a pressure regulator, gauge, and isolation valve. Point-of-use systems give operators and technicians a convenient and accurate method of adjusting pressure to meet their test bench or equipment needs.
Swagelok® Source Inlet (SSI)
The source inlet establishes a connection between the high-pressure gas source and the distribution system. It is important the inlet is built with appropriate cylinder connections, hoses, tubing, filters, and vent, purge, and relief functions to ensure that gas can be safely fed into the primary gas pressure control or automatic changeover. For a single gas cylinder, the assembly can be as simple as a hose and connector, while multiple cylinders may require a manifold incorporating many hoses and valves.
