Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect torque settings, leading to over-tightening and potential pipe damage or under-tightening and insufficient support.Refer to pipe support specifications or consult an engineer to determine the correct torque value for this U-bolt and application.
Not using hardened washers under the nuts, which can lead to galling and premature wear on the bolt threads.Always use hardened washers between the nuts and the mounting surface to distribute load and prevent thread damage.

Common Applications

  • Offshore oil and gas platforms
  • Chemical processing plants
  • Desalination facilities
  • Marine and shipbuilding
  • Aerospace applications

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility of mounting hardware (nuts, washers) with Titanium Grade 5 to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the titanium surface, compromising its corrosion resistance.
