(seamless precision tube)
Seamless precision tubes undergo rotary piercing and cold drawing processes to achieve tolerances within ±0.05mm. These tubes demonstrate 18-23% superior concentricity compared to welded alternatives, with surface roughness (Ra) values between 0.8-1.6μm. The absence of welds enables consistent material strength across 360° of the circumference, critical for high-pressure applications exceeding 6,000 PSI.
Our cold-drawn seamless tubes utilize ASTM A519-grade steel alloys with yield strengths ranging from 355 MPa to 690 MPa. Advanced heat treatment protocols achieve hardness levels of 80-85 HRB while maintaining elongation rates above 15%. The table below compares key parameters across major suppliers:
Parameter | Supplier A | Supplier B | Our Standard |
---|---|---|---|
Wall Thickness Tolerance | ±7% | ±5% | ±3% |
Surface Finish (Ra) | 2.5μm | 1.8μm | 1.2μm |
Hydrostatic Test Pressure | 4,500 PSI | 5,200 PSI | 6,800 PSI |
We offer 47 standard sizes (6mm-250mm OD) with capability to produce non-standard diameters up to 400mm. Specialized services include:
Aerospace clients have reported 14% weight reduction in hydraulic systems using our thin-walled (0.8mm) 316L stainless tubes. Automotive manufacturers achieved 92% first-pass yield rates in fuel injection components through our ±0.03mm ID precision.
Every production batch undergoes eddy current testing, ultrasonic inspection (EN 10308 standard), and 100% dimensional verification. Our metallurgical lab maintains ISO 17025 accreditation for material certification.
With 83% of repeat customers specifying our tubes for critical applications, we deliver tubes with 99.97% defect-free performance across 15,000+ annual production runs. Our vertically integrated manufacturing ensures 22% faster lead times versus industry averages.
(seamless precision tube)
A: A seamless precision steel tube is a high-accuracy, hollow cylindrical product manufactured without welding seams. It is used in applications requiring tight tolerances, such as hydraulic systems or aerospace components.
A: Industries like automotive, oil and gas, medical equipment, and machinery rely on precision seamless steel tubes for their durability, pressure resistance, and dimensional consistency.
A: They are produced through processes like hot extrusion, cold drawing, or rotary piercing, ensuring smooth surfaces and precise inner/outer diameters with minimal wall thickness variation.
A: Seamless tubes offer superior strength, uniformity, and resistance to high pressure or corrosion since they lack weak points from welds, making them ideal for critical applications.
A: Yes, they can be tailored in size, material grade (e.g., stainless steel, carbon steel), and surface finish to meet specific mechanical, thermal, or chemical performance requirements.
