Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible solvent cement for polycarbonate.Consult the pipe manufacturer's specifications for recommended solvent cements specifically formulated for polycarbonate.
Over-tightening mechanical fittings, leading to stress cracking.Hand-tighten mechanical fittings and then back off slightly, or follow torque specifications provided by the fitting manufacturer.

Common Applications

  • Sight Glass Tubing for Fluid Monitoring
  • Pneumatic Conveying Systems
  • Chemical Processing and Transfer

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to attack by certain strong solvents and UV radiation; verify compatibility for specific chemical environments and outdoor use.
