Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard brass alloys for high-pressure hydraulic applications.Specify brass alloys with proven performance and strength ratings suitable for the intended hydraulic pressure and fluid type.
Inadequate surface finishing leading to seal leakage.Ensure all machined surfaces that interface with seals are finished to the required Ra value to guarantee optimal sealing performance.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifolds
  • Valve Bodies and Components
  • High-Pressure Fittings and Adapters

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and machining brass stock.
  • Ensure proper ventilation to mitigate potential dust or fume exposure during machining operations.
