EN10305-4 Precision Steel Tube

What is EN10305

EN10305 is a precision seamless steel pipe material under European standards. This steel tube is widely used in various industrial fields due to its high precision, excellent mechanical properties and good processing performance. Steel tubes under EN10305 standard are usually produced by cold drawing or cold rolling process, which ensures the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the product. This part of EN10305 specifies the delivery technical conditions of precision cold drawn seamless steel tubes with circular cross-section. The ENI0305 also covers other types of cross-sections. EN 10305 tubes are characterized by precisely specified tolerances and specified surface roughness. Typical applications are in automobiles, equipment and general industrial engineering.

EN10305-4 precision steel tube

EN10305-4 precision steel tube is a high-quality seamless steel tube that meets European standards and is mainly used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. EN10305-4 precision steel tube (attribute: cold-drawn precision seamless steel tube) has a series of remarkable characteristics and performances. The following is a detailed analysis of its attributes:

Material and process

1. Material

It is often made of high-quality carbon steel materials such as E235 to ensure the strength and toughness of the steel tube.

2. Manufacturing process

Cold drawing: The precision and finish of the precision tube are improved through the cold drawing process.

Non-oxidation bright heat treatment (NBK state): Ensure that the precision tube has no oxide layer during the manufacturing process, improve the cleanliness and service life of the steel tube.

Non-destructive testing: Non-destructive testing of steel tubes to ensure that the quality of precision tubes meets the standards.

Specifications and tolerances

1. Specifications

The outer diameter range is wide, ranging from 4mm to larger sizes, to meet various application requirements.

2. Tolerances

For precision tubes of different outer diameters, there are clear tolerance regulations to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the steel tube.

Surface treatment

1. Inner wall treatment

Brushed and flushed with special equipment to ensure good cleanliness of the inner wall.

2. Outer wall treatment

After anti-rust oil treatment, the steel pipe is effectively prevented from rusting; the two ends are sealed and dust-proofed to prevent pollution.

Features

1. Strong ability to withstand high pressure

Applicable to high-pressure systems to ensure stable operation of the system.

2. Cold bending without deformation

It has good cold bending performance and can be used in complex environments.

3. Expanding and flattening without cracks
