CNG Infrastructure

CNG is a dangerous fuel due to a combination of the high pressure under which it is stored and its flammable nature. Safety is of utmost importance and an accident can result in serious consequences. It is hence very important that a gas distribution company gives due importance to the selection of products for all CNG station related applications like cascades, compressors, priority panels, dispensers, station forecourt areas etc.

Swagelok Bangalore has been servicing this market in India since inception and we provide products, assemblies and services to all major City Gas Distribution companies across India.

Swagelok offers Tube Fittings, Valves, Hoses, Tubing, Filters, Pressure Guages, Tools & accessories and Pressure Regulators. Several of our products also meet or exceed compliances like AGA, CGA, CSA, ECE, ISO, NGV, and PED to name a few. In addition to the products, we also offer a host of services such as Custom Solutions (We build Priority Panels, Hose Assemblies, Valve assemblies), Swagelok Certified Training, Energy Audits, Vendor Managed Inventory, Application Support and Compressed Gas Leak Detection Services.

Hydrogen Compatible Products

Swagelok Tube Fitting

Traditional Swagelok Tube Fittings have been used for decades in Hydrogen applications, from the research lab, electrolysis applications, on-vehicle applications and fill stations and dispensers in both CNG and Hydrogen applications.

FK Series Fittings

Swagelok FK Series Tube Fittings utilise a simple, two-piece design, consisting of a female fitting body and preassembled cartridge containing the male nut and colour-coded front and back ferrules, allowing for easy assembly and fast installation time.

Valves

Find dependable ball valves for on-vehicle or dispenser use, check valves for excess flow prevention in on-vehicle applications, relief valves for purge and bleed applications, and instrument manifolds that minimize potential leak points in refueling stations.

Service Offerings for Hydrogen Applications

Custom Solutions

We can build customised assemblies for you, such as test setups, refuelling panels, pressure-reducing panels, dispensing panels, and assemblies that integrate into dispensers, compressors, electrolysers and fuel lines.

Onsite Support

Our Field Engineers can evaluate your system for leaks and optimisation. We help minimise costs, fluid system downtime and help you avoid potential safety hazards or environmental risks.

Training

With over 75 years of experience, we can train you on the fundamentals of handling hydrogen, working with products designed for hydrogen, and everything in between!

Material Selection Matters

The success of hydrogen depends on specifying and selecting reliable components with the performance characteristics to last in this challenging application.

Hydrogen embrittlement is the phenomenon where hydrogen moves into cubic lattice network walls of the material, unpacking its molecular bonds and compromising the material's integrity. In effect, hydrogen embrittlement may cause some grades of stainless steel to act more like cast iron: very brittle and susceptible to cracking. As such, it can impact specific compositions of SS 316, a widespread alloy used for fittings, valves and tubing, including those mistakenly recommended for hydrogen applications.

SS 316, with a higher concentration of chromium and nickel, can defend against hydrogen embrittlement by promoting greater ductility and corrosion resistance.

Material Selection

Performance Under Pressure

Hydrogen storage is a high-pressure business; the higher the pressure, the greater number of hydrogen molecules contained and the higher the energy density. Today's hydrogen vehicles store the gas at either 350 bar or 700 bar, depending on the range requirements. Many short-range fleets, like city buses, utilise 350 bar, knowing that each vehicle can return to a central hub every night for refuelling. In longer-range applications like trucking, 700 bar provides the range necessary to transport goods over large distances without stopping to refuel.

Higher pressures require higher performance components, and traditional options are not applicable. Swagelok designed the FK-Series to contain hydrogen stored as high as 1375 bar.
