2D Barcodes

Swagelok Georgia | Jacksonville | South Carolina Resources Product Changes 2D Barcodes

2D (Two-Dimensional) Barcodes added to Additional High Purity Products

One of the ways Swagelok lives its core value of quality is to implement technologies that help enhance product quality. Establishing a unique identification number for each valve body and applying a 2D barcode to the product allows the product’s progress to be tracked through assembly operations. This unique ID also links the valve to a rigid verification process to ensure the valve’s assembly to factory specifications.

Starting in 2012, we began applying 2D barcodes to select High Purity products.

HF Regulators: Effective September 1, 2023, 2D barcodes will be applied to HF regulators.

DH Valves: In 2018, 2D barcodes were added to certain DH process sheet valves. Effective February 1, 2024, 2D barcodes will be applied to all DH series valves.

Refer to the photos provided of barcode placement. There are no other changes to the product marking. Product will transition over time so both marking styles may be seen in shipments until current inventory is depleted.

We continue to investigate adding 2D barcodes to other products and expect to implement it on more products in the coming months.

Important: Although 2D barcodes are similar in appearance to QR (Quick Response) codes used in various media, the underlying code language is different. Specific equipment is needed to read the 2D barcode.
