Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible joining methods for brass.Always use joining methods specifically recommended for brass, such as appropriate brazing alloys or NPT threads for threaded connections.
Over-tightening threaded connections, leading to pipe deformation.Apply appropriate torque to threaded fittings, avoiding excessive force that could compromise the pipe's integrity.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer systems
  • Corrosive fluid handling
  • Instrumentation and control lines

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure material compatibility with the conveyed fluid and operating environment.
  • Verify system pressure ratings do not exceed the pipe's capabilities.
