Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Insufficient lubrication during initial setup.Apply a liberal amount of the recommended lubricant to both the carbon steel sheet and the mating surface before assembly and during initial operation.
Using the sheet in an environment exceeding its intended lubrication parameters.Verify that the operating environment (temperature, pressure, presence of abrasive contaminants) is within the design limits for this lubricating grade carbon steel.
