Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners or inadequate welding procedures.Consult engineering drawings and specifications to determine the correct fastener size, grade, and torque values, or appropriate welding parameters for the specific application.
Failing to account for thermal expansion and contraction in enclosed systems.Incorporate expansion joints or flexible mounting solutions where significant temperature variations are expected to prevent stress buildup.
