Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fittings for the pipe schedule and material.Always ensure fittings are rated for Schedule 80 and compatible with Aluminum 6061 to prevent leaks and structural failure.
Over-tightening connections, especially with aluminum.Use proper torque specifications to avoid stripping threads or deforming the pipe wall, which can compromise integrity.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer systems
  • Structural components in marine environments
  • Aerospace fluid lines and structural supports

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Verify compatibility with transported fluids to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Handle with care to avoid nicks or scratches that could compromise wall integrity.
