Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners or inadequate welding procedures for the load requirements.Always consult engineering drawings or load calculations to determine the correct fastener size, type, and quantity, or appropriate weld specifications for the application.
Failing to account for thermal expansion and contraction in long-term installations.Incorporate expansion joints or flexible mounting points where significant temperature fluctuations are expected to prevent stress buildup and potential structural failure.

Common Applications
