Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the nuts, which can deform the pipe or the U-bolt.Tighten nuts evenly to snug, ensuring a secure fit without excessive force. Use a torque wrench if specified for the application.
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter.Verify the pipe's nominal size and consult the U-bolt's inside dimensions (A and B) to ensure a proper fit.

Common Applications

  • Marine support systems
  • Chemical processing pipework
  • Offshore oil and gas infrastructure

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility with the surrounding environment and transported medium to avoid unexpected chemical reactions with Titanium Grade 5.
