Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper solvent selection leading to material degradation.Utilize only solvent cements specifically formulated and recommended for polycarbonate pipe to prevent cracking or weakening.
Over-tightening mechanical fittings, causing stress concentration.Follow torque specifications for all mechanical fittings to avoid distorting the pipe wall and compromising its integrity.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing lines
  • Specialized instrumentation tubing
  • High-pressure fluid transfer systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for applications involving prolonged exposure to strong alkalis or certain organic solvents.
  • Thermal expansion and contraction should be accounted for in system design to prevent stress.
