Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible welding filler materials that compromise corrosion resistance.Employ ER308L or equivalent filler materials for welding 304 stainless steel to maintain optimal corrosion performance.
Insufficient pipe end preparation leading to poor weld quality.Bevel pipe ends to the correct angle and ensure a clean, oxide-free surface before welding to achieve a sound, high-integrity joint.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer in chemical plants
  • Offshore oil and gas pipelines
  • Hydraulic systems requiring extreme durability
