Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower grade stainless steel for corrosive environments.Always specify 304 or higher grade stainless steel for applications involving corrosive chemicals or high humidity to prevent premature degradation.
Inadequate support leading to deformation under pressure.Ensure that the installed sheet has sufficient structural support to prevent buckling or deformation under the intended operating pressures and temperatures.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel fabrication
  • Heat exchanger components
  • High-temperature ducting and enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
