Capabilities
What to Expect
Consulting
We talk with you to gather information about the problem or goal. We want to learn about your application, operations, and current challenges.
Evaluation
We inspect fluid systems at your facility or virtually. The specifics of inspection vary by program. We note potential safety hazards, misapplication of components, installation issues, and excessive wear or damage.
Analysis
We quantify each issue's impact on your operation, factoring in overall system reliability, energy costs, emissions, potential impact on product quality and worker safety, and several other factors.
Recommendations
We deliver and discuss recommendations. Reports summarize what was evaluated and our top recommendations then show detail on each issue in an appendix. You have as much time as you need to discuss.
Peer Review Guarantees Top Value
Global network
When you receive guidance through our Field Advisory Services, you receive more than advice from one or two certified fluid systems experts. Members of our Field Advisory Services team draw on each other's expertise to thoroughly investigate problems, discuss mitigation options, and identify the best-value solution based on your priorities. That approach ensures you consistently get the highest quality advice.
One Swagelok®
Our Field Advisory Team is part of a close-knit network of 80+ other Swagelok Field Engineers around the world. While all Swagelok Field Engineers must complete the industry's toughest training regime to achieve Field Engineer certification, no two Field Engineers have exactly the same strengths and application experiences. Swagelok engineers request peer review of their process and conclusions before finalizing recommendations. That way you get the best possible value from our brand, every time.
