Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a solvent cement not rated for polycarbonate.Always use a solvent cement explicitly designed and recommended for polycarbonate to ensure a strong, leak-proof bond.
Insufficient curing time before applying pressure.Allow the solvent cement to cure fully according to the manufacturer's instructions before introducing any fluid pressure to the system.

Common Applications

  • Visual Fluid Monitoring Systems (Sight Glasses)
  • Pneumatic Conveying of Powders and Granules
  • Low-Pressure Chemical Transfer

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for continuous use with strong alkalis or chlorinated hydrocarbons, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Max operating temperature and pressure limits must be strictly adhered to as specified by the material manufacturer and application requirements.
