Welding for Leak-Tight, High-Integrity Connections
Why Swagelok Orbital Welding?
Orbital Welding is considered to be the highest form of integrity when making a connection. When it comes to high purity, smooth internal surface finishes, compact design, and leak-tight integrity the orbital butt weld meets the highest standards. Swagelok® Design and Assembly Services is your partner in Orbital Welded assemblies—with our certified technicians and over 50,000 welds, you can trust us to get the job done right the first time!
Swagelok Design and Assembly inspects and Helium leak-tests 100% of our welded assemblies. Our ASME Section IX certified weld specialists assure that full penetration welds are completed while maintaining a smooth bore-line throughout the ID of your tubing. Meaning, suggested vacuum and working pressure ratings can be held, based on the tubing wall thickness.

Can I Purchase or Lease an Orbital Welder?
Yes, we offer both of these options. If you will be doing welding regularly, purchasing your own welder makes a lot of sense. If you have a project that will require welding but do not think it will be regular work, we recommend you consult with your Sales Representative to evaluate if it would be more cost-effective to have our skilled technicians perform the welding.
