Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible joining methods for brass.Always use brazing alloys or solders specifically rated for brass and the operating temperature/pressure of the system.
Improperly deburring pipe ends.Thoroughly deburr both the inside and outside edges of the pipe to prevent flow restriction and potential leaks.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure hydraulic systems
  • Chemical processing and transfer
  • Specialized marine and offshore applications

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Verify compatibility of fluid media with brass to prevent premature corrosion.
  • Ensure all connections meet pressure and temperature ratings for the specific application.
