Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fittings with stainless steel pipe, leading to galvanic corrosion.Always use compatible 304 stainless steel or equivalent fittings and welding consumables to prevent corrosion at connection points.
Improper cleaning of the pipe before welding, introducing contaminants.Thoroughly degrease and mechanically clean the pipe ends and surrounding areas with approved stainless steel cleaning agents and brushes before welding.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing and petrochemical industries
  • Food and beverage production and processing
  • High-pressure fluid transfer systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always adhere to ASME B31.3 for process piping applications to ensure safety and compliance.
  • Avoid prolonged contact with chlorides or highly acidic environments, which can lead to pitting corrosion in 304 stainless steel.
