Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners that may corrode or fail under pressure/temperature fluctuations.Utilize fasteners made from compatible alloys (e.g., stainless steel or similarly rated aluminum alloys) to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure structural integrity.
Inadequate preparation of mating surfaces leading to leaks in pressure systems.Thoroughly clean and deburr all mating surfaces to ensure a perfect seal. Apply appropriate sealants or gaskets as per design specifications.

Common Applications
