Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a lower grade of stainless steel for corrosive environments.Always specify 304 or higher grade stainless steel for applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, or other corrosive agents.
Not accounting for thermal expansion in critical setups.Consider the coefficient of thermal expansion of stainless steel and its potential impact on dimensional stability during design and installation.
