Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or low-grade steel for high-pressure hydraulic applications.Always specify and use carbon steel sheets with sufficient thickness and material grade to meet or exceed the design pressure requirements of the hydraulic system.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding or coating.Thoroughly clean the steel surface to remove all contaminants, including oil, grease, and mill scale, prior to any welding, painting, or sealing operations to ensure proper adhesion and prevent weld defects.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Hydraulic Valve Bodies
