60 Series 2D Barcode

60 Series 2D Barcode

Change effective date: December 2022

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.

In 2012, we began applying 2D barcodes to many of the high purity valve products. Effective immediately, 2D barcodes will begin to be applied to 60 series center bodies.

Refer to the photo below for an example of the 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 a 2D barcode to other products and expect to implement it on more products in the coming months.
