COLD DRAWN SEAMLESS STEEL TUBES

We stock precision seamless tubes for mechanical applicationsthat satisfy both the European norm EN 10305-1 and the various national standards in force.The tubes are cold drawn, thereby guaranteeing optimumdimensional tolerances and can be supplied in different finaltreatment states. The products described have an application in the field defined by 'Machinery Directive 98/37/EC', that is for mechanical and general engineering purposes.They are excluded from use in specialized work, such as in pressure vessels and structural applications. These being subject to other EN norms, Community directives or national laws in force in the countries where they arebeing used.Dimensions and TolerancesThe standard dimensions and dimensional tolerances are shown satisfy the requirements of the standard EN10305-1.The dimensional tolerances apply to tubes supplied in theconditions defined by the standard with the exception of tubessupplied QT (quenched/tempered).StraightnessA straightness better or equal to 1.5% is guaranteed.ChecksThe tubes undergo the following tests:- Mechanical tests in accordance with reference standards- Electromagnetic test on each tube- Visual and dimensional check of each tubeSurfaces and protectionThe product surfaces are cold finished, as required by EN 10305-1. The tubes are protected internally and externally with oil, which provides temporary protection against oxidisation when undercover.CertificationThe product is supplied with 3.1.B inspection certificate,according to the standards EN 10204 and ISO 10474.

The standard dimensions and dimensional tolerances are shown satisfy the requirements of the standard EN10305-1.
