Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Inadequate fastener selection for the gauge and intended load.Consult engineering drawings or a qualified engineer to specify fasteners (e.g., grade, size, type) that can safely support the sheet and any anticipated stresses.
Failure to account for material expansion/contraction in extreme temperature environments.Incorporate expansion joints or slotted mounting holes where significant temperature fluctuations are expected to prevent warping or stress buildup.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
