Precision Seamless Pipe

Precision seamless pipe is a pipe material producing by a cold drawn process with high precision and high-quality finish.

• DIN 2391
• EN10305-1
• DIN17175etc;

CDS is popular in the hydraulics, being used to make hollowed chrome plated telescopic cylinders and hydraulic rods. It is also popular for large bore, heavy walled, high pressure hydraulic cylinders.

Cold Drawn Seamless tubes also find uses in heavy equipment manufacturing such as cranes and garbage trucks.

Due to the characteristics of high-precision, in precision machinery manufacturing, auto parts, hydraulic cylinders, construction (steel sleeve) industry has a very wide range of applications.

General process of cold drawing

相当大比例的无缝管d pipes manufactured through the cold roll piercing technology undergo subsequent cold forming. The principal reasons behind cold drawing are:

• Achievement of closer wall thickness and diameter tolerance
• Improvement in surface finish
• To enhance serviceability
• No premature failure
• Suitable for critical forming Such as 180˚ Bends
• Enhancement of mechanical properties of the tube
• Expansion of product mix towards the lower end of the OD and wall thickness scales.

There are three basic processes employed for the cold drawing of tube:

• Hollow drawing
• Stationery drawing or floating plug drawing and
• Drawing over a mandrel (also known as drawing on-the-bar)

Annealing

After the goods are cold drawn to sizes, the tubes are put on annealing furnace for heat treatment and normalising.

Straightening

Post annealing, the goods are passed through a seven roller straightening machine to achieve proper straightening of the tubes.

Eddy current

Post straightening, each tube is passed through eddy current machine to detect for surface cracks and other defects . Only the tubes that pass eddy current are fit for delivery to customers.

Finishing

Each tube is either oiled with corrosion resistant oil or varnished for surface protection and corrosion resistant as per customers requirement, each tube end is covered by plastic end caps to avoid damage in transit, the marking and specs are put and the goods are ready for dispatch.
