Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or thinner material for high-pressure filtration.Always select a stock sheet thickness that exceeds the anticipated operating pressure and mechanical stresses of the filtration system.
Inadequate sealing around the stock sheet edges.Ensure a complete and robust seal between the stock sheet and the filtration housing to prevent bypass and maintain filtration efficiency.
