Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible joining methods or materials that can compromise the integrity of the brass pipe.Always use fittings and consumables specifically designed for brass and the intended application pressure and temperature.
Exposing the brass pipe to aggressive chemicals for which it is not rated, leading to premature corrosion.Consult chemical compatibility charts for brass to ensure suitability for the specific fluid being conveyed.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure hydraulic systems
  • Chemical processing and transfer
  • Marine and offshore fluid conveyance

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Verify system pressure and temperature do not exceed the rated limits for Schedule 160 brass pipe.
  • Ensure proper handling and storage to prevent damage or contamination of the pipe.
