Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fittings with stainless steel pipe.Always use compatible 304 stainless steel fittings to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure system integrity.
Insufficient heat input during welding, leading to carbide precipitation.Employ controlled welding procedures and post-weld heat treatment (if necessary) to maintain corrosion resistance.

Common Applications

  • High-Pressure Chemical Processing
  • Petrochemical and Oil & Gas Transfer
  • Food and Beverage Industry (Sanitary Applications)

⚠️ Engineering Warnings
