Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect solvent cement for polycarbonate.Always use a solvent cement explicitly formulated and recommended for polycarbonate to ensure a strong, reliable bond.
Over-tightening fittings, which can stress the pipe.Hand-tighten fittings and then apply a minimal additional turn with a wrench, avoiding excessive force that could cause cracking.

Common Applications

  • Sight Flow Indicators
  • High-Pressure Fluid Transfer
  • Chemical Processing Equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for use with certain strong solvents (e.g., ketones, aromatic hydrocarbons) which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Consult chemical compatibility charts before use with aggressive chemicals.
