Modular Platform Components (MPC)

For use in the construction of compact and modular process analyzer samplehandling systems, the Swagelok modular platform components (MPC) system consists of a layer of fluid control components mounted atop a substrate layer containing specialized channel and flow components. It meets all the requirements of the ANSI/ISA 76.00.02 specification for the 1.5 in. (38.2 mm) footprint. The reduced size, weight, and footprint of the MPC system make it easier to couple the sample system to dedicated field-mounted analyzers and place them at the sample point, thereby helping to reduce the costs and inaccuracies related to long, heated sample transport lines. Because the system has less internal surface area than a traditional system, it requires less analyzer gases and is easier to purge or flush. Utilizing 50% fewer O-rings than other modular systems, the MPC system is easy to assemble using the customized assembly diagram, written instructions, and a single tool-a hex-type screwdriver.
