Why are Seamless Pipes Commonly Used in Hydraulic and Pneumatic Cylinders?

Many industries rely on hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, so it is crucial to use high-quality steel pipes when manufacturing these cylinders. This article will explain why seamless pipes are commonly used in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders and what advantages they offer.

Advantages of seamless pipes

1.Seamless pipes improve the performance of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders

Daily operations in industries such as construction, production, and transportation rely on hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. The efficiency and reliability of these structures depend largely on the quality of the steel pipes used in their manufacture. Seamless pipes are commonly used in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders because they offer many advantages in these areas.

2.Higher structural integrity and strength

Seamless pipes are made from a single metal material through hot or cold rolling processes, have no welds, are less likely to leak, and therefore have higher overall strength and are more reliable. In hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, this ensures that there will be no leaks or cracks under high pressure. In addition, welded pipes are more likely to break due to stress due to the weld gap. Especially in high-pressure situations, the benefits of using seamless pipes include improved durability, reliability, and efficiency.

3.Availability of regulations

Seamless pipes must pass rigorous quality control tests and meet strict requirements for size and performance. They are produced to the established specifications set by organizations such as ASTM and ASME. Due to their strict rules and quality control measures, seamless pipes are a reliable choice for businesses that require precision. These pipes are widely used internationally and meet material standards such as EN 1.0580, E355, JIS STKM13C, DIN ST52, and SAE1020.

4.Applicable Pressures

Pressure and weight are two factors that must be considered when designing piping for heavy machinery. Seamless pipes are able to withstand high internal pressures, which is crucial for the working pressures in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. For hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, seamless pipes are preferred because they have higher strength and life than welded pipes. Since there are no welds in seamless pipes, there are no weak points that can cause leaks, breaks, or failures.

Steel pipes are available in a variety of specifications in stock, all of which can be modified according to individual requirements. For various uses, we offer seamless carbon steel pipe, welded pipes, and precision seamless pipes.

5.Corrosion Resistance

The uniform material of seamless pipes helps improve their corrosion resistance, reduce damage caused by corrosion, and extend service life.

6.Precision retention

The manufacturing process of seamless pipes can ensure high dimensional accuracy and roundness, which is critical for the sliding and sealing performance of internal parts of hydraulic cylinders and pneumatic cylinders.

7.Durability

Seamless pipes have high durability and can withstand long-term cyclic loads without fatigue failure.

8.Cleanliness

The smooth and clean inner wall of seamless pipes helps reduce contamination in hydraulic oil or pneumatic systems and avoid system failures caused by contamination.

9.Weight

Seamless pipes are generally lighter than welded pipes, which helps reduce the overall weight of hydraulic cylinders and pneumatic cylinders, which is especially important for mobile equipment or applications that require load reduction.

10.Economical

Although the initial cost of seamless pipes may be higher, they may be more economical in the long run due to their long service life and low maintenance costs.

11.Applicability

Seamless pipes are suitable for applications that need to withstand large mechanical stresses and dynamic loads, and hydraulic cylinders and pneumatic cylinders are typical representatives of such applications.

12.Standardized production

The production process of seamless pipes is highly standardized, and it is easy to obtain products that meet specific industrial standards and meet the design requirements of hydraulic cylinders and pneumatic cylinders.
