Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using insufficient thickness for load-bearing pneumatic components.Always verify the required material thickness based on the stress analysis and operating pressures of the pneumatic component. Consult engineering drawings for precise specifications.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding or coating.Thoroughly degrease and remove any mill scale or rust from the carbon steel surface prior to welding or applying protective coatings to ensure optimal adhesion and joint integrity.

Common Applications
