Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fittings with 316 stainless steel pipe, leading to galvanic corrosion.Always use fittings made of 316 stainless steel or compatible alloys to prevent dissimilar metal corrosion.
Improper cleaning of pipe ends, introducing foreign particles that can compromise joint integrity.Thoroughly clean and inspect pipe ends before joining to ensure a contaminant-free interface.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer in chemical plants
  • Corrosive media transport in petrochemical refining
  • Offshore oil and gas exploration and production pipelines

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Verify material compatibility with all transported media to prevent premature degradation.
  • Adhere strictly to welding procedures and post-weld heat treatment requirements, if applicable, to maintain material integrity.
