Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower-grade stainless steel for corrosive hydraulic fluids.Always specify and use 316 stainless steel for its superior resistance to chloride and other corrosive agents prevalent in hydraulic systems.
Inadequate edge preparation after cutting.Ensure all cut edges are properly deburred and smoothed to prevent stress risers and potential failure points in high-pressure applications.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic manifold blocks
  • Pressure vessel components
  • Offshore fluid handling systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper handling and storage to prevent surface contamination and damage.
  • Consult material compatibility charts for specific hydraulic fluid types before use.
