Swivel Joints
Swivel Joints Overview
Meter Engineers’ patented Swivel Joints are the most dependable, operator-friendly, and versatile fluid connection solution on the market. Featuring a proprietary leak detection system and proven elastomeric seal technology, these joints are engineered to protect your people and your bottom line, because, in the petroleum industry, a compromised seal isn’t just an inconvenience – it’s a liability.
Designed to perform across a broad range of fluids, pressures, temperatures, and applications, including rotary unions, rotating pipe couplings, swinging hard arms, and load-arm swivel joints, Meter Engineers Swivel Joints deliver consistent sealing integrity wherever the job takes you. High-performance elastomeric seals ensure reliable performance even in the most demanding environmental conditions, while the proprietary leak detection system gives operators the confidence of knowing immediately when a seal has failed, allowing them to respond before any product is lost. Quicker, easier, and smoother operation means the job gets done faster, with reduced rotational friction keeping effort and fatigue to a minimum. And because no two applications are alike, Meter Engineers Swivel Joints are custom designed to meet your specific needs, whether that means a new system built from the ground up or a direct replacement for aging joints. Every solution is backed by the full Meter Engineers ecosystem, including Nitro Balance Spring Assists, the patented MagnaProve® Compact Displacement Prover, Custom Trailer Fabrication, and world-class factory support.
Features at a Glance
Main Seal Leak Indicator
Leak indicator means leaks can be detected before any leakage, allowing operators to replace swivel joint seals before losing any product into the environment.
Journal Bearing
Caged journal bearing in our swivel joints means no more loose ball bearings for quick and easy assembly and disassembly. The swivel joint can be disassembled, and seals can be changed without the removal of the journal bearing.
Backup Seal
Prevents environmental and personal hazards in the event the main seal fails.
Thrust Bearing Washers
Hardened steel races allow longer life, corrosion protection, and easy replacement.
Thrust Bearings
Caged journal bearing means no more loose ball bearings for quick and easy assembly and disassembly.

Additional Features
- High-performance elastomeric seals allow for compatibility with a large range of fluid products with low friction.
- Bolt-together design means quick and easy assembly without the hassle of individual ball bearings.
- Preloaded bearings mean zero movements within Meter Engineers swivel joints, prolonging sealing ability and life.
- Heavy wall bore allows for high strength with a low-pressure drop across the swivel joint and versatility to be used with standard or heavy pipe walls.
