August 20, 2004 Subject: The Swagelok Tube Fitting Installation & Tube Bending Seminar The objective

of the Swagelok Tube Fitting Installation & Tube Bending Seminar is to prepare each attendee to properly select, install and troubleshoot fluid systems to provide safe, leak tight performance and cost effective operations. The full day program includes the following, and can be customized to your specific needs.

Tubing

(60 Minutes) Selection Specification Handling Cutting and deburring System layout and design basics Advantages tubing has over pipe systems Tube Fittings (1 Hour & 45 Minutes) Tube fitting design history Understanding leakage and associated costs Fitting selection, storage and handling Installation procedures Inspection Thread identification Retightening instructions Specialty fittings Safety considerations Specialty tools available Hydraulic Swaging tool demo Tube Bending (2 Hours & 30 Minutes) Hand bender set-up Benchtop bender demo Evaluating system layout and pre-bend marking Allowing for minimum bend radius Understanding springback Determining and accommodating changes in direction Understanding the offset bend formula Bending exercises Evaluation (2 Hours & 30 Minutes) Theoretical exam (Written test) Practical exam (Fabricate test loop) Seminar evaluation (Attendees evaluate the facilitator)
