Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard weight pipe in high-pressure applications.Always select pipe schedule (e.g., Sch 160) that exceeds the system's maximum operating pressure.
Improper weld preparation leading to joint failure.Ensure bevels are clean, accurately dimensioned, and free from defects before welding.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure hydraulic systems
  • Oil and gas transfer lines
  • Chemical processing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Maximum working pressure must not exceed the rated capacity of the pipe and associated fittings.
  • Consult material safety data sheets (MSDS) for handling and welding precautions.
