Swagelok Solutions for Aerospace and Defense
Swagelok NYC | NJ | Philadelphia supports the aerospace and defense industry with high-performance fluid system products, assemblies, and services engineered for reliability, precision, and safety in the most demanding environments. From aircraft manufacturing and space exploration to military ground systems and defense testing to university-level R&D, Swagelok products and services are designed to deliver leak-tight performance under extreme pressures, temperatures, and vibration.
Material Science Matters
The unfailing reliability of the Swagelok Tube Fitting is the result of proven design, manufacturing excellence, and superior raw materials Chromium and Nickel are critical for corrosion resistance and ductility in stainless steel. Swagelok proprietary stainless steel alloys exceed ASTM requirements for both elements. Raw materials undergo extensive testing, including 100% ultrasonic analysis and eddy current testing.
Swagelok products are designed to meet key fluid system requirements of the aerospace industry and feature fittings, valves, and tubing for medium- (20, 000 psi) and high-pressure (40,000 psi) applications. Annealed 316SS and other exotic materials are also available to meet NACE MR0175/ISO 15156. Swagelok NYC | NJ | Philadelphia is ISO 9001:2015 certified and we maintain product traceability throughout. All products and assemblies are backed by our Swagelok Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Custom Engineered Assemblies Built Locally
Our local Swagelok Engineering & Design teams can take your existing P&ID and bring it to a realized design with Bill of Materials. Our Swagelok-certified assembly services team can deliver a panel or assembly — tested and ready-to-install.

Products, Engineering & Services for Aerospace Industry
Fittings
Swagelok offers a variety of Fittings for aerospace applications that are resistant to vibration fatigue and that deliver outstanding tube grip and leak resistance.
Medium and High-Pressure Solutions
Swagelok FK series medium-pressure product offering has improved fluid connections in tough applications like the aerospace and defense markets. They offer reliable, leak-tight connections for advanced systems in fluid handling and gas sealing applications.
Tubing
Find reliable tubing options with the material properties needed for your application. Achieve leak-tight performance and make sure your system is built to last with tubing accessories that help you cut, bend, deburr, and support tubing. Compared to conventional piping, small-bore tubing (up to 2 in. O.D.) reduces the number of connections, and thus potential leak points, for greater system integrity.
Valves
Swagelok offers a variety of valves for industrial fluid systems—including ball valves, bellows-sealed valves, check valves, diaphragm valves, metering valves, needle valves, process interface valves, plug valves, quick connects, and relief valves—giving customers access to the solutions they need to achieve reliable flow control.
Hoses and Flexible Tubing
We own the design of all bulk hoses, and they are built according to exact Swagelok specifications to deliver strong performance even in extreme applications. Products are available with the pressure ratings, materials of construction, and flexibility to help keep team members safe, equipment online, and operations profitable. Hoses are available in metal, PTFE, thermoplastic, and rubber. They come in nominal hose sizes 1/8 to 2 inches, with a wide range of fractional and metric end connections and custom length options.
Regulators
Pressure-reducing, back-pressure, dome-loaded, and spring-loaded pressure regulators control pressure and minimize droop in instrumentation systems. With standard and custom option available. Swagelok is your one go-to source for world-class performance and reliability.
Modular Solutions
Fully engineered fluid system assemblies, such as grab sampling panels, gas distributions systems, lab gas control solutions, and analytical subsystems, improve reliability and simplify fluid system use and maintenance — all assembled and tested locally at Swagelok NYC | NJ | Philadelphia.
Orbital Welding System
For projects requiring a consistent and efficient approach to welding, the Swagelok M200 orbital welding system offers precision and control combined with easy-to-use touchscreen operation. It provides cost-effective, reliable orbital gas tungsten arc welds (GTAW) for both tubing and pipe.
Design and Build
We can support your R&D, prototyping, and final design approval stages, so you can focus on the manufacturing environment. Swagelok design and assembly services can consist of either a few components or entire fluid systems, including weldments, test stands and carts, purge panels and more — all built to your exact application specifications and ready to be installed.
Onsite Engineering Services
Our local Swagelok Field Engineering team will visit your facilities to ensure optimal performance of your fluid systems. Our team will collaborate with you onsite to recommend an Improvement Roadmap. This process will help you reduce costs, minimize production downtime, and mitigate safety hazards and environmental risks.
Fluid System Training
