Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect pipe schedule for pressure requirements.Always confirm the required schedule (e.g., Schedule 40) based on the operating pressure and temperature of the system.
Inadequate preparation of pipe ends before joining.Ensure pipe ends are meticulously cleaned, deburred, and chamfered as per the joining method's specifications to guarantee a sound connection.

Common Applications
