Extract More Value from Your Supplier
The mining industry is vital to the well-being of communities across the country. In addition to the individuals working directly in the mining industry, the industry also supports jobs in manufacturing, engineering, and environmental and geological consulting—roughly 3.5 additional jobs elsewhere in the economy. The minerals extracted are essential to nearly every aspect of our lives and our economy. Key markets include utilities, the primary metals industry, non-metallic minerals industry (glass, cement, lime), and the construction industry.
When you stop to consider how many feet of tubing and how many thousands of components can comprise a single mine site, it is no surprise that mining companies look for a trusted partner in their fluid system supplier. Especially when you add in how often component leaks are due to improper installation and missed maintenance opportunities, suppliers who are able to do more than just supply components often become critical partners in mining operations.
Swagelok is equipped to be your partner every step of the way, from exploration all the way through reclamation. We are able to assist with selecting components, recommending system efficiencies, developing your workforce, and managing your inventory. In addition, since Swagelok has been fighting corrosion since 1947, metals and mining customers around the world turn to us to solve their challenges in extraction, processing, and refining of metal ores and mineral reserves.
If you are planning a project or need fluid handling support, turn to Swagelok for:
- Technical expertise: From our design and field engineers to our metallurgists and compliance experts, we can help you plan, build, and manage fluid systems that are simpler, faster, and safer
- Complete coordination: Each project is unique and needs a customized approach. Our team can help manage the planning, design, logistics, regulations, contacts, delivery, inventory, and training to make sure everything is expertly executed
- After-sale support: We know that our job is not done once your project is complete. We can assist with maintenance planning, recommending efficiencies, and developing your workforce. Consider Swagelok Minnesota | North Dakota | Appleton your partner, able to support your needs today, tomorrow, and in the future
Swagelok excels at making reliable connections and bridging logistical challenges in projects big and small. Having been in the business of preventing corrosion since 1947, we can help prevent expensive problems caused by rust. If you are in the business of extracting, processing, and refining of metal ores and mineral reserves, trust us to be your partner.
Find tube fittings in 316/316L stainless steel and other alloys for corrosive environments, as well as medium- and high-pressure tube fittings, pipe fittings, weld fittings, assembly-by-torque (AbT) fittings, metal gasket face seal fittings, PFA fittings, vacuum fittings, and flange adapters.
We offer rubber hose and thermoplastic hose, as well as metal core hose that is rated to 800°F. No matter the pressure or temperature of your application, Swagelok hoses withstand corrosive conditions, while limiting kinking, absorption, and permeation.
Detect, eliminate, and avoid leaks. Our pipe thread sealants, PTFE tape, and thread lubricants prevent leaks from forming, while our liquid leak detectors identify leaking connections.
Swagelok pressure gauges and pressure transducers provide accurate and dependable measurement. Many options are available. We also carry variable area flow meters, flow sensors, and thermometers.
Get the set of capabilities you need from your regulators. Swagelok pressure-reducing, (spring-loaded or dome-loaded), back-pressure (spring-loaded and dome-loaded), and specialty regulators maintain pressure and minimize droop over a wide range of pressures and flows. Let our team help you by recommending and assembling regulator configurations.
We supply valves that address your needs, from manual and automated process and instrumentation ball valves (40- and 60-series), check valves, relief valves, needle and metering valves, bellows-sealed valves, diaphragm-sealed valves, process interface (double block and bleed) valves, and ball and quarter-turn plug valves, among other types. We also build and test valve manifolds.
Simplify chemical transfer with sample cylinders compliant with various industry and transportation standards. These cylinders prevent samples from escaping and are easy to clean.

Receive as much design support as you need. We can follow your existing design or help you develop a new one. We handle CAD drawings, P&ID, component selection and sourcing, bills of materials, plus professional testing, packaging, and delivery.
Meet day-to-day challenges with courses taught by Swagelok-certified trainers that include essential knowledge about tube fittings, tube bending, and hose management. We can also provide instruction on valve selection and regulator use. Ask our team about onsite and virtual opportunities.
Managing large projects is hard when owners and contractors are separated by continents. You need a collaborator with global reach, a breadth of capabilities, and the application expertise to keep up. We can support you anywhere in the world, no matter how complex your project becomes.
Choosing the right corrosion-resistant materials helps keep fluid systems leak-tight. Certain alloys resist corrosion better than others. Swagelok® materials science training is for engineers, supervisors, purchasing agents, technical associates, and anyone involved in the material selection process.
