Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening nuts, leading to thread stripping or deformation of the U-bolt.Tighten nuts to the recommended torque specification for the thread size and material. Use a calibrated torque wrench.
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter, resulting in an insecure or damaging fit.Verify the pipe's nominal and actual outer diameter to ensure it matches the U-bolt's Inside Width (A) and the U-bolt is designed for the specified pipe size.

Common Applications

  • Chemical Processing Plants
  • Marine and Offshore Structures
  • Oil and Gas Pipelines
  • Aerospace Components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility of mating hardware (nuts and washers) with Titanium Grade 5 to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that could scratch the titanium surface and compromise corrosion resistance.
