Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fittings not rated for Schedule 160 pressure ratings.Always use Schedule 160 rated fittings specifically designed to accommodate the thick wall and pressure capabilities of this pipe.
Exposing the pipe to solvents or chemicals incompatible with polycarbonate.Consult a chemical resistance chart for polycarbonate to ensure compatibility with the intended fluid and operating environment.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer systems
  • Corrosive chemical conveyance
  • Sight glasses and visual flow monitoring
  • Pneumatic conveying systems
  • Specialty laboratory equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Maximum operating pressure and temperature limits must be strictly adhered to as specified by the manufacturer and system design.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless specifically treated or shielded, as it can degrade polycarbonate over time.
