Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect thread sealant for brass fittings.Utilize thread sealants specifically formulated for brass to prevent galvanic corrosion or material degradation.
Applying excessive force during joint assembly, leading to deformation.Adhere to specified torque values for threaded connections to avoid over-stressing the pipe and compromising its integrity.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure hydraulic systems
  • Corrosive chemical transfer lines
  • Marine and offshore fluid conveyance

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Verify material compatibility with the specific fluid being conveyed.
  • Adhere to all relevant ASME B31.3 or equivalent piping code requirements for installation and operation.
