Designing Swivel Joint Solutions For Offshore, Subsea And Oil And Gas

For over 40 years Rotaflow have been designing swivel joints in order to remove the problems associated with moving fluids and/or gases across rotating interfaces. Through design and in-house manufacture our swivel joints allow one or more different flows through a single unit, enabling the pipework to rotate 360 degrees whilst carrying fluids.

Simple single flow units are used in many applications including loading arms, articulated pipework and hose reelers. And some applications require articulated pipe work or hoses to allow fluids, such as Hydraulic Power, Air (pneumatic) control lines, or mixed process fluids, to be used on moving machinery. Our multi passaged designs, Multiports, will allow multiple flows of fluid, under different pressures, though a single unit without leakage or cross-contamination.

We have off-the-shelf solutions that are ready to go…However, we specialise in designing solutions when often awkward requirements are in play. We regularly in-house design and manufacture designs with the following tricky constraints of pressurised environments, specific materials, temperatures, dimensions, witness testing, FEA modelling, retrofitting and budgets. The photos attached show some of our recent finished products following our design led approach to get a working solution. 

We commonly manufacture in Carbon Steel and 316 SS with “specials” in any grade of metal to suit customer specification: Titanium, Super Duplex, etc. With bores ranging from 0.25” to 40”; Vacuum duty to 20,000PSI and multi passaged designs allowing multiple flows of fluid though a single unit.

Rotaflow is a global leader in swivel joint design and manufacture. We engage with clients all over the world to produce swivel joints for a wide range of industrial uses, from drilling and mining, food and drink production, pharmaceutical, process and plant, to offshore, subsea oil and gas extraction.
