Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fittings for aluminum pipe.Always use fittings specifically rated and designed for aluminum pipe to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure a proper seal.
Over-tightening connections, leading to thread damage.Utilize torque wrenches set to the manufacturer's recommended specifications for aluminum fittings to avoid stripping threads or deforming the pipe.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid conveyance systems
  • Structural components in corrosive environments
  • Aerospace and automotive fluid lines

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Aluminum 6061 is susceptible to galvanic corrosion when in direct contact with dissimilar metals in an electrolyte. Ensure proper insulation or compatible materials are used.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkaline or acidic solutions, which can degrade aluminum alloys.
