Seamless Hydraulic Tubing (SAE J-524)
Seamless Hydraulic Tubing (SAE J-524) covers cold drawn and annealed seamless low carbon steel pressure tubing intended for use as hydraulic lines and in other applications requiring tubing of a quality suitable for flaring and bending. All material is dead soft annealed and drawn. Has uniform ductility and a smooth clean inside surface.
Made from 1006 to 1018 Steel
Meets SAE J-524
J524 Seamless Hydraulic Tubing Tolerances
Stocked Size Range:
- 0.125” to 1.500” O.D. from 0.028” to 0.120” Wall Thickness
- Stocked in 20.000’ lengths (cut to length available)
Manufacturing Process
Seamless hydraulic tubing is produced as a seamless tube by rolling and piercing bar stock. It then gets multiple cold-drawing reductions before a final cold draw guarantees tight dimensional tolerances and excellent surface finish. After final sizing of the tube through cold drawing it undergoes intermediate annealing and a dead-soft annealing process to meet SAE J524 requirements.
Benefits of Seamless Hydraulic Tubing:
Appearance
- Exceptionally Bright and Clean OD and ID.
Strength
- Designed to withstand fluid pressures due to being highly tested and cold worked.
Consistency
- Quality and chemistry are carefully restricted.
Workability
- Very good for bending, flaring, forming, and brazing.
Applications by Industry:
Seamless Hydraulic tubing is used in any application from aerospace to heavy equipment in which fluid transfer is needed and/or where bending and flaring are critical.
