What Are DIN 2391 / EN 10305 Precision Tubes & Why Are They Used?

Precision steel tubes are seamless cold-drawn tubes manufactured with extremely tight tolerances, superior surface finish, and high structural integrity.

They are essential for systems where:

  • High-pressure fluid transmission is required
  • Accurate ID / OD tolerances affect system performance
  • Smooth internal finish impacts flow and reduces wear
  • Hydraulic performance depends on tube accuracy
  • Low dimensional deviation prevents vibration, leakage, or failure

Compared to standard seamless pipes, precision tubes are engineered specifically for:

  • Hydraulic cylinders
  • Fuel injection lines
  • Pneumatic systems
  • Automotive shock absorbers
  • High-precision mechanical assemblies

How ST35 & ST52 Precision Tubes Are Manufactured

Hot Rolled Tube Production

Steel billets are heated and pierced to form hollows used for precision cold drawing.

Cold Drawing

  • Tight OD, WT & ID accuracy
  • Smooth internal & external finish

Heat Treatment

  • NBK – Normalized
  • BK – Cold Finished
  • BKW – Softened
  • BKS – Stress Relieved

Phosphating / Oiling

Provides corrosion protection and internal lubrication.

Final Finishing & Straightening

  • Straightness ≤ 1 mm per meter
  • Ovality ≤ 25% of tolerance

Mandatory Testing

  • Eddy current
  • Ultrasonic inspection
  • Hydrostatic test
  • Flattening & flaring
  • Dimensional inspection

Key Advantages of DIN 2391 / EN 10305 Precision Tubes

  • Tight dimensional tolerance
  • Smooth internal & external surface
  • High pressure & fatigue resistance
  • Excellent workability
  • Multiple delivery conditions (NBK / BK / BKW / BKS)
  • High cleanliness standards
