Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible solvent cements or adhesives.Always consult the manufacturer's recommendations for approved solvent cements and primers for polycarbonate pipe.
Over-tightening threaded connections, leading to stress cracking.Hand-tighten threaded fittings and use PTFE tape for sealing; avoid excessive torque.

Common Applications

  • High-purity fluid transport
  • Sight glasses and visual flow monitoring
  • Protective shielding and enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for use with strong alkalis or certain chlorinated hydrocarbons, which can cause degradation.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate protective coatings or additives, as it can reduce mechanical properties.
