Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a pipe size designation without verifying actual OD and wall thickness.Always confirm the actual outside diameter (5.169") and wall thickness (0.406") against the Schedule 80 specification for the given NPS to ensure correct fitting selection and performance.
Incompatible joining methods or fittings for brass.Ensure all fittings and joining materials are specifically rated for brass and the operating pressure and temperature to prevent premature failure and leaks.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure hydraulic systems
  • Chemical processing and transfer
  • Marine and offshore applications
  • Instrumentation tubing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Maximum operating pressure and temperature limits must be strictly adhered to based on the specific brass alloy and system design.
  • Corrosion resistance is alloy-dependent; verify compatibility with the specific fluid or gas being conveyed.
