Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fittings with Schedule 160 pipe without considering wall thickness compatibility.Always select fittings specifically rated for the higher pressure and thicker wall of Schedule 160 pipe to prevent premature failure.
Improper cleaning of brass surfaces before brazing, leading to weak joints.Thoroughly clean brass surfaces with a suitable abrasive and flux to ensure a strong, metallurgical bond during brazing.

Common Applications

  • Chemical Processing Plants
  • Marine and Offshore Equipment
  • High-Pressure Hydraulic Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Brass may be susceptible to dezincification in certain aggressive water conditions; consult material compatibility charts.
  • Avoid exposing this brass pipe to strong oxidizing acids or ammonia-based solutions, which can cause rapid corrosion.
