Swagelok Tubing System Training Program for Chemical and Refining
The Swagelok® Tubing System Training Program for Chemical and Refining (SWAGE-TSTP-CR) is designed to address the small-bore tubing training needs for midstream and downstream applications. It covers tube fitting installation, inspection, tube bending, and other relevant topics.
Description
This hands-on training is ideal for installers, engineers, designers, QC/QA
inspectors, and others responsible for designing, installing, maintaining, and/or
inspecting tubing systems in midstream and downstream chemical and refining applications.
The training provides theoretical and practical experience through a combination of explanation, demonstration, hands-on exercises, and validation. All attendees receive a Swagelok® Tube Fitter’s Installer’s Guide, Hand Tube Bender manual, and gap inspection gauge for 1/4-inch (6mm), 3/8-inch, and 1/2-inch (12 mm) tube fitting sizes.
The program addresses common concerns that are root causes for project overruns, including:
• Leaks on tube fittings and threaded connections due to incorrect installation
• Improper tube preparation
• Intermix and Interchange
• Tube blowout
• Contamination
• Thread galling
• Surface finish damage
• Vibration issues
• Poor tubing layout
• Improperly supported tubing
• Bend defects and bend radius interference
