Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard stainless steel (e.g., 304) in highly corrosive environments.Select 316 stainless steel for superior resistance to chlorides and aggressive media.
Over-tightening, leading to thread stripping or material fatigue.Always use a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended value.

Common Applications

  • Marine and offshore equipment
  • Chemical processing plants
  • Food and beverage manufacturing
  • Wastewater treatment facilities

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not intended for use in extremely high-temperature applications where material properties may degrade.
