Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper cleaning of pipe ends prior to welding.Thoroughly clean pipe ends with a non-abrasive, solvent-based cleaner to remove all contaminants that could compromise weld integrity.
Overheating the pipe during welding, leading to sensitization and reduced corrosion resistance.Employ appropriate welding techniques and heat input controls to maintain the material's protective chromium oxide layer.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer in chemical plants
  • Corrosive fluid transport in petrochemical facilities
  • Steam and condensate lines in power generation

⚠️ Engineering Warnings
