Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible welding consumables for 316 stainless steel, leading to reduced corrosion resistance.Utilize E316/ER316 filler metals or equivalent to maintain the corrosion resistance of the base material.
Insufficient support spacing, causing excessive pipe deflection and potential stress concentrations.Adhere to recommended support spacing guidelines for the specified pipe size and service conditions to prevent undue strain.

Common Applications

  • Chemical Processing
  • Marine and Offshore
  • Petroleum Refining
  • Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
  • Food and Beverage

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper material handling to prevent galling or scoring of the stainless steel surface.
  • Always consult relevant ASME B31 codes and local regulations for specific installation and pressure rating requirements.
