Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard pipe for high-pressure applications.Always select pipe schedule (e.g., Schedule 160) appropriate for the maximum anticipated operating pressure and temperature.
Improper weld joint preparation.Ensure pipe end bevels are accurate and free of contaminants to guarantee strong, leak-free welds.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure hydraulic systems
  • Petrochemical and refinery process lines
  • Power generation steam lines

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Operating pressure must not exceed the rated capacity for Schedule 160 pipe at the specified temperature.
  • Consult material safety data sheets (MSDS) for safe handling and potential hazards associated with carbon steel.
