Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible sealing materials that degrade in contact with hydraulic fluids.Select seal materials (e.g., Viton, EPDM) specifically rated for the hydraulic fluid type and operating temperature range.
Introducing sharp edges or burrs during cutting or machining that can initiate stress risers or damage seals.Thoroughly deburr and radius all cut edges to industry standards before assembly.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • High-Pressure Fluid Reservoirs
  • Corrosive Fluid Handling Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper grounding when welding to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Handle with care to avoid scratching or denting the surface, which can compromise sealing integrity.
