Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible thread sealant.Always select thread sealants rated for 316 stainless steel and the specific service conditions (temperature, pressure, chemical compatibility).
Over-tightening fittings.Adhere strictly to recommended torque values. Over-tightening can deform the pipe or fitting, leading to premature failure or leaks.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure chemical processing
  • Offshore oil and gas extraction
  • Advanced pharmaceutical manufacturing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility of all connected components (fittings, valves) with 316 stainless steel and the process medium.
  • Verify that operating pressures and temperatures do not exceed the pipe's rated capacity for Schedule 160.
