Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect joining methods for high-pressure applications.Always utilize joining techniques (e.g., TIG welding, appropriate threaded fittings) rated for the specified pressure and compatible with brass.
Exposing brass to incompatible chemicals that cause dezincification.Verify chemical compatibility charts to ensure the fluid being conveyed will not degrade the brass material.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer systems
  • Marine and offshore applications
  • Chemical processing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure all connections are rated for the operating pressure and temperature.
  • Verify material compatibility with the fluid being transported to prevent corrosion.
