Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a lower gauge steel for high-pressure hydraulic applications.Always select carbon steel sheets with adequate thickness and tensile strength to withstand the operating pressures of the hydraulic system.
Failing to account for material expansion and contraction in temperature-sensitive hydraulic environments.Consider the thermal expansion coefficient of carbon steel and incorporate design features that accommodate these changes.

Common Applications
