Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using thinner gauge material than specified for high-pressure pneumatic lines.Always consult pneumatic system pressure ratings and select sheet thickness that meets or exceeds calculated burst strength requirements.
Inadequate surface preparation leading to premature corrosion or leaks.Thoroughly clean all surfaces after fabrication, removing any cutting fluids, debris, or contaminants before assembly.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic manifold fabrication
  • Custom pneumatic valve bodies
  • Enclosures for pneumatic controls

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle sheet edges with appropriate personal protective equipment to prevent cuts.
