The 10,000 Hour Rule and Finding Answers to Fluid Systems Technology Questions (New Video)

Whether it's reducing downtime, improving system efficiency, or enhancing your team's skills, if a challenge involves fluid systems or sampling systems, we can help solve it. Here's how.

A new video from Swagelok mentions a saying you may have heard: it takes 10,000 hours of intensive practice to master a complex skill. Working 40 hours a week for 52 weeks a year, someone could reach the 10,000-hour mark in just over five years. 

At Swagelok Edmonton we have worked for over 50 years at mastering fluid systems technology. If we estimate just a fraction of our team's work at 80 hours a week (a very conservative estimate) for 52 weeks a year over 50 years, then we have racked up at least 192,000 hours of practice in fluid systems technology - and that's just a few of our associates logged time! 

This math is back-of-a-napkin, but you get the gist. We are outliers regarding fluid systems technology expertise. That means when you face challenges related to fluids, you have an ally. Our team of experienced fluid system designers, field advisors, technicians, and trainers understand how big a difference tiny things make in fluid systems technology.
