What issue can arise if the casing is welded crooked?

When the casing is welded crooked, it can result in a phenomenon known as a "dogleg." This term refers to a deviation in the alignment of the casing, creating an unintended bend or curve in the structure. Such misalignment can adversely affect the overall integrity and functionality of the jack system.

A dogleg can complicate the installation process and lead to challenges during operation, including uneven load distribution. It can also increase stress on equipment and might lead to premature wear or failure. Identifying and correcting a crooked weld early in the installation process is crucial to ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the jack system.

Other issues like water leakage, a weak structure, or excessive noise could potentially arise from overall installation failures, but the specific consequence of crooked casing is best described as a dogleg.
