Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper solvent cement selection for polycarbonate.Use only solvent cements specifically formulated for polycarbonate to prevent premature cracking or degradation.
Inadequate support leading to sagging or stress concentration.Install sufficient pipe hangers or supports at intervals appropriate for the pipe size and operating conditions to prevent excessive deflection.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer systems
  • Protective shielding for sensitive equipment
  • Laboratory and research fluid handling

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong alkalis and certain chlorinated hydrocarbons which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Operate within the specified temperature and pressure limits for polycarbonate pipe to prevent failure.
