Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can lead to carbon contamination and rust.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting tools and ensure they are clean to prevent cross-contamination.
Improper handling during fabrication, leading to scratches or damage to the surface finish.Use protective films or soft materials when handling and fabricating to preserve the surface integrity.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabrication of tanks and vessels
  • Splash guards and containment barriers
  • Work surfaces and shelving in washdown areas

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection when cutting or fabricating.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation when performing cutting or grinding operations to remove airborne particulates.
