Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect solvent cement or not allowing sufficient curing time.Always use a solvent cement specifically rated for polycarbonate and strictly adhere to the recommended curing schedule to ensure a strong, leak-proof joint.
Inadequate pipe support, leading to excessive stress or sagging.Install appropriate hangers or supports at recommended intervals to maintain pipe alignment and prevent undue stress on the system.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer in chemical processing
  • Sight glasses and visual monitoring systems
  • Pneumatic conveying systems requiring high impact resistance

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong alkaline solutions or certain hydrocarbons, as these can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not exceed the recommended maximum operating temperature and pressure ratings to prevent failure.
