Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fittings, which can stress and crack the polycarbonate pipe.Use torque-limiting tools or hand-tighten fittings, checking for leaks incrementally.
Exposure to incompatible chemicals that can degrade polycarbonate's structural integrity.Consult a chemical resistance chart for polycarbonate before application to verify compatibility.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer in chemical processing
  • Visual monitoring of fluid flow in industrial equipment
  • Pneumatic systems requiring impact resistance

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for use with strong alkaline solutions or certain aromatic hydrocarbons which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Maximum operating temperature and pressure limits must be strictly adhered to; consult technical data sheets for specific ratings.
