Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect solvent cement for polycarbonate.Always use a polycarbonate-specific solvent cement recommended by the manufacturer to ensure a strong, leak-proof bond.
Exposing pipe to prolonged UV radiation without protection.If used in outdoor or high-UV environments, consider UV-resistant coatings or housings to prevent material degradation over time.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer
  • Sight glasses and flow monitoring
  • Chemical processing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not recommended for applications involving prolonged exposure to strong alkalis or certain aromatic hydrocarbons.
  • Avoid thermal shock; gradual temperature changes are advised.
