Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard pipe fittings not rated for Schedule 160 pressures.Always specify and use fittings specifically rated for Schedule 160 or higher pressure classes to maintain system integrity.
Improper welding techniques for 316 stainless steel, leading to sensitization or reduced corrosion resistance.Employ certified welders using procedures that minimize heat input and prevent carbide precipitation, such as TIG welding with proper shielding gas.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure chemical processing
  • Offshore oil and gas extraction
  • Pharmaceutical manufacturing
  • Cryogenic systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always adhere to relevant ASME B31.3 or equivalent piping codes for design and fabrication.
  • Proper material handling and storage are crucial to prevent contamination, especially in high-purity applications.
