Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect pipe size or schedule for the intended pressure rating.Always cross-reference project specifications with the pipe's dimensional and schedule ratings to ensure it meets or exceeds pressure and flow requirements.
Incompatible fitting materials leading to premature failure.Ensure all connecting fittings (couplings, flanges, etc.) are made of compatible materials and are rated for the same or higher pressure and temperature as the pipe.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure hydraulic systems
  • Oil and gas extraction and refining
  • Heavy industrial process piping

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper handling and storage to prevent damage to the pipe's surface and integrity.
  • Consult relevant industry codes and standards (e.g., ASME B31.3) for specific installation, testing, and safety requirements.
