Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel for high-pressure applications without proper material certification.Always specify and procure carbon steel stock sheets that meet relevant industry standards and pressure vessel codes for the intended application.
Inadequate post-weld heat treatment for thick carbon steel components.Implement appropriate post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) cycles to relieve residual stresses and prevent cracking in thick-section carbon steel welds.
