Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect solvent cement or primer.Always use a solvent cement and primer specifically formulated for polycarbonate to ensure proper bonding and prevent material degradation.
Insufficient curing time before pressurizing the system.Allow adequate curing time for the solvent cement as specified by the manufacturer before subjecting the pipe to operational pressure.

Common Applications

  • High-impact fluid transfer systems
  • Sight glasses and flow monitoring
  • Protective conduit for sensitive instrumentation

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Consult chemical compatibility charts before use with aggressive solvents.
  • Avoid direct exposure to UV radiation for prolonged periods without UV stabilizers, which may degrade material over time.
