Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fittings with 316 stainless steel pipe, leading to galvanic corrosion.Always use 316 stainless steel or compatible alloy fittings to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Improperly aligning pipe during welding or threading, causing stress concentrations.Ensure precise alignment and use appropriate support systems to minimize stress on the pipe and connections.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing and handling
  • Offshore oil and gas platforms
  • Marine and shipbuilding
  • High-purity fluid systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility of welding consumables with 316 stainless steel to maintain corrosion resistance.
  • Handle with care to prevent damage to the pipe surface, which can compromise its integrity.
