Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect pipe schedule for pressure rating.Always verify the required Schedule (e.g., Sch 40, Sch 80) based on the system's operating pressure and fluid characteristics.
Inadequate pipe support leading to sag or stress.Install pipe supports at recommended intervals to prevent excessive deflection and stress on the pipe and its connections.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid and gas transport
  • Structural support in industrial settings
  • General purpose piping systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility with transported fluids to prevent corrosion.
  • Handle with care to avoid damage to pipe ends and surface.
