Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect threading compound for the application, leading to leaks or material degradation.Always consult the material compatibility charts for the pipe, fitting, and fluid to select the correct threading compound or sealant.
Over-tightening threaded connections, which can cause pipe or fitting damage and compromise the seal.Utilize a calibrated torque wrench and adhere to recommended torque values for the specific pipe size and fitting type.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid and gas transmission
  • Oil and gas exploration and production infrastructure
  • Chemical processing plants

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Verify material compatibility with transported media to prevent corrosion or degradation.
  • Ensure proper support and anchoring systems are in place to manage thermal expansion and vibration.
