Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel instead of 304 stainless steel for corrosive environments.Always specify and confirm 304 stainless steel for pneumatic applications prone to corrosion or chemical exposure to ensure longevity and prevent premature failure.
Insufficient clearance or tolerance in fabricated parts leading to binding.Carefully account for material expansion/contraction and manufacturing tolerances during design and fabrication to ensure smooth pneumatic system operation.

Common Applications

  • Custom pneumatic cylinder construction
  • Pneumatic manifold fabrication
  • High-pressure pneumatic valve bodies

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper safety equipment is used when cutting or machining stainless steel.
  • Avoid contamination with ferrous materials during fabrication to maintain corrosion resistance.
