Seamless precision steel tubes for hydraulic cylinders - TN 008-00
Tenaris produce a wide dimensional range of cold drawn seamless tubes suitable for the manufacturing of hydraulic cylinders. The tubes are produced with close tolerances in two dimensional series, one for skiving and roller burnishing and the other for honing on the internal diameter. Two grades of easily weldable steel are used; both grades can be supplied with inclusions specially treated in such a way as to guarantee better machinability.

Seamless precision steel tubes for hydraulic cylinders
Product description and application
This specification is for cold-drawn seamless tubes suitable for hydraulic cylinder application. It defines the dimensions, tolerances, chemical composition, mechanical properties and technical conditions of supply. The product can be supplied with two different series of machining allowance, "Series DL" and "Series DP". The DL series is characterised by an internal machining allowance that makes the tubes suitable for being worked internally by honing. The DP series is characterised by a machining allowance that allows skiving work with detachable chips and rolling on the internal diameter.
2. Standards of reference The overall Tenaris dimensional range is indicated in the table on pages 6-7 and includes the standard internal dimensions from 20 mm to 250 mm as specified by the ISO 3320/1987 standard "Fluid power systems and components". The external diameter tolerances conform to those specified on the EN10305-1 and DIN 2391/1. The following product Standards are used when referring to the steel grades: ISO 4394/1 1980 "Fluid power systems and components - Cylinder barrels" EN 10305-1 "Steel tubes for precision applications" BS 5242/1 1987 "Tubes for fluid power cylinder barrels" NF A 49-323 1978 "Vrins pour transmissions hydrauliques - tubes sans soudure lamins a froid ou tirs a froid" and the following Standards for precision tubes: DIN 2391 part 2 1994 "Seamless precision steel tubes" NF A 49-310 1990 "Tubes sans soudure de prcision pour usage mcanique" The present specification does not cover special applications (structural, pressure vessels, lowt emperatures, etc.), for which there are other Standards such as DIN 17179 for Seamless circular tubes of fine grain steels for special requirements and the EN 10216.
Service Center It is possible to request from the Tenaris Service Center additional work, including cutting to measure, chamfering, drilling, boring and agreeing quantity, marking and packaging different to that indicated in the present catalogue.

3. Steel grades The product is supplied in two different types of steel, PHC 355 and PHC 460, with two possible delivery conditions, SR (Stress relieving treatment after cold drawing) or N (normalisation treatment after cold drawing), that have the following indicative correspondencies to the standards: Option a The PHC 460 grade can be produced with a controlled sulphur content of 0.020 - 0.035% to facilitate machinability.
4. Dimensions and tolerances
The standard nominal dimensions and the production tolerances are detailed on the table on pages 6-7 for both the DL and DP series. By nominal dimensions the dimensions of the finished cylinder are meant. Outer diameter tolerances According to DIN 2391/part 1 and EN10305-1 standards; O.D. > 260 the tolerance is 1.3 mm. Inner diameter tolerances In accordance with the DP and DL tables on pages 6-7. Option c It is possible to agree different dimensions, tolerances and machining allowances.
Option b Different heat treatments, mechanical properties and steel grades can be requested.

The impact test values indicated are meant to be calculated as the average of the three width samples W = 10 mm. One individual value may be below the minimum, but not less than 70% of that value. The certificate reports the dimension of the sample and the values measured in the test in J. If the sample width W is less than 10mm, the minimum requested KV10 values are reduced in the new KVW value according to the formula: KVW=KV10 x (W/10)

Eccentricity The following values of eccentricity are guaranteed:
OUTSIDE DIAMETER 125 mm > 125 mm ECCENTRICITY* 0.05 0.07
8. Certification The product is supplied with 3.1.B certificate, in accordance with EN 10204 and ISO 10474. Tenaris work with complete product traceability The cast number . is indicated on the 3.1.B control certificate and is carried on every tube. Option g Certification in accordance with 3.1.C or 3.2 can be agreed upon at time of ordering. In case a 3.2 certificate is requested, the customer must notify at the time of ordering the organisation or the individual responsible who must conduct the inspection.
* Eccentricity is measured according to the formula: (WTmax - WTmin) (WTmax + WTmin) Where WTmax and WTmin are understood to be measured on the same section Ovality Ovality is guaranteed whithin the diameter tolerances External straightness Local deviation from straightness: max 1 mm per each meter of length. It shall be measured as the distance between the tube surface and a chord linking two random points 1000 mm apart. Total deviation from straightness: max 3,5 mm for tubes with length less than 6 m; for tubes with length greater than 6 m, the tolerance shall be increased by 0,5 mm for each 1 m over 6 m
9. Identification and marking
The identification of the tubes for cylinder is carried out through the following continuous marking, in indelible ink, along the entire length: - Product mark - specification number - nominal ID x WT - dimensional series (DP o DL) - steel grade + Delivery condition - cast number Option h Different marking can be agreed upon at the time of ordering
5. Lengths The length range is between 5.5 9 m. The average production length varies according to the dimensions. For every dimension the length is variable within a range of 2 m. Option d Manufacture of tubes in fixed lengths or in a range of lengths different to standard can be agreed upon.
10. Packing The tubes are packed in strapped bundles. The minimum weight is as shown: OUTSIDE DIAMETER 30 - 100 mm > 100 - 160 mm > 160 mm MINIMUM BUNDLE WEIGHT 1500 kg 2000 kg 2000 kg and 4 pieces
6. Inspection and testing
The following tests are carried out - Tensile tests (according to those required by EN10305-1) - Electromagnetic check on every tube according to EN 10246-3 level 3 - Visual and dimensional check on every tube Option e Ultrasonic inspection can be agreed upon.
The maximum weight of the bundle is 5000kg with a minimum of 4 pieces. Option i Other types of packing can be agreed upon at time of ordering: - wrapped in polyethylene sheets. - bungs at the ends
11. Minumum quantity supplied 7. Protection of the surfaces
