Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect joining methods for the pressure rating.Consult system design specifications and use only approved, pressure-rated joining techniques and materials.
Failing to de-burr pipe ends, leading to flow restrictions.Thoroughly deburr and clean all pipe ends before assembly to ensure unimpeded flow.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer in chemical plants
  • Corrosive fluid handling in offshore oil and gas
  • Specialized industrial process piping

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Verify compatibility of brass material with all conveyed media to prevent premature degradation.
  • Adhere strictly to ASME B31.3 or relevant piping codes for installation and pressure testing.
