Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper sealing leading to media bypass.Utilize appropriate gaskets and clamping mechanisms to ensure a complete seal around the perimeter of the sheet.
Selecting insufficient thickness for high-pressure applications.Confirm the pressure rating of the filtration system and match it with the structural integrity of the chosen sheet thickness. Consult material strength data if necessary.
