Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel in corrosive pneumatic environments.Always select 304 stainless steel or a higher-grade alloy for applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, or high humidity to prevent rust and contamination.
Inadequate edge preparation after cutting.Thoroughly deburr all edges to eliminate sharp fragments that could be dislodged and enter the pneumatic circuit, potentially causing damage or system malfunction.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic manifold fabrication
  • Housings for pneumatic actuators and valves
  • Corrosion-resistant pneumatic system enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses and gloves when handling and fabricating sheet metal.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during cutting and welding operations to avoid inhalation of metal fumes.
