Gas Distribution Systems

Fully Assembled and Tested Gas Distribution Panels

The job of a gas distribution system is fairly simple: safely and efficiently deliver specialty or utility gases from a high-pressure source to points of use through a facility at the required pressure and flow rate. Unfortunately, not all systems do what is needed in an efficient manner and you might have issues such as:

Inefficient gas bottle usage
Undetected leaks
Safety hazards
Regulator creep
Labor intensive maintenance
Downtime when gas is not available

Often, industrial facilities do not have pressure reduction expertise or resources to effectively address these issues in their gas distribution systems. We can help.

Gas Delivery Solutions Address Your Top Concerns

When you need a method of delivering gases safely and efficiently, considered an assembled solution from Swagelok Minnesota | North Dakota | Appleton. Swagelok engineers have designed gas distribution systems that minimize potential leak points, are easy to understand and service, and are built with reliable Swagelok products. You'll appreciate the benefits of our gas distribution systems because they offer:

All-In-One Solutions Take Care of Gas Delivery

Our four sub-systems are expertly designed based on best practices to tackle problems with taking gas from a cylinder source to any point of use whether in a laboratory, plant, or analytical system. Each modular panel features minimal thread connections to reduce potential leak points, and they are intuitively labeled to promote safe, simple use and maintenance. Our systems also offer:

A streamlined process of building a gas distribution system that starts with one of four standard designs
Opportunities to customize your system to accommodate a variety of parameters
A completely assembled, pressure tested, and leak-tight system built with the best quality products
Design and selection support from your local Swagelok team

See how we can work together to get you just what you need:

Swagelok Gas Distribution Systems Options

Whether you need a standard solution or something customized, our one piece gas distribution systems eliminate the need to design an entire system from scratch. Our standard gas delivery panels are easy to order as single part numbers to help minimize your time spent on procurement. In addition, each system is highly configurable so you can add features or make modifications to suit your needs.

Swagelok Point-of-Use (SPU)

The SPU provides the critical last stage of pressure control prior to gas being used. It offers:

Convenient and accurate way of adjusting pressure
Top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top flow to meet your setup needs
Flat plate, bottom mount, top mount, and wall mount options

Swagelok Gas Panel (SGP)

As the primary gas pressure control, the SGP completes the first pressure reduction of the source gas to ensure it is delivered at the correct flow rate to the next stage of the system. It offers:

Ability to set system pressure at the bottle
Precision and ease of use
Single stage or dual stage options for accuracy
Additional pressure relief options available

Swagelok Changeover (SCO)

Our SCO automatically and seamlessly switches from one gas source to another to ensure an uninterrupted supply of gas for important industrial applications. It offers:

Ability to accept gas input from two separate sources
Flexibility to set changeover pressure to your specification
Cost savings by using more of the gas in the bottles

Swagelok Source Inlet

The SSI establishes a connection between the high-pressure gas source and the rest of the gas distribution system. It offers:

All appropriate components so gas can be safely fed into the primary gas pressure control or automatic changeover
Options to purge or vent gases when changing bottles
A gas supply from one bottle to many bottles manifolded together

Address Safety Issues with a Better Gas Delivery System

Gas distribution systems often experience leaks and inefficiencies that go unaddressed. Yet leaving issues unchecked can compromise the safety of personnel at your facility. That's why Swagelok gas distribution systems are designed with safety in mind. Our systems reduce the potential for gas leaks to help maximize operator safety and save unnecessary costs. Instead of worrying about potential dangers, turn to us for a safer gas distribution system.

Alleviate Maintenance Concerns

Traditionally, gas panel design has been far from intuitive, with confusing layouts, blocked components, and disassembly that is both time-consuming and labor intensive. Operations can be dramatically slowed down or even stopped if gas is not available when and where it is needed. Gas panels present challenges such as:

Malfunctioning components
Design inefficiencies
Minor issues that go unnoticed

Optimized gas panel design features:

Straight forward design
High quality parts
Modular panels for efficient use of space
Minimal threaded connections to reduce potential leak points
Intuitively labeled to promote safe, simple use, and maintenance
