Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower grade stainless steel in corrosive hydraulic environments.Always specify 316 stainless steel for its enhanced molybdenum content, providing superior resistance to chloride attack and acidic conditions.
Inadequate tolerance control during fabrication.Maintain tight dimensional tolerances throughout the machining and forming processes to ensure proper fitment and sealing within the hydraulic circuit.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifolds
  • Fluid Connectors and Fittings
  • Pressure Vessels and Housings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper handling and storage to prevent surface contamination and scratches which can compromise corrosion resistance.
