Product Dimensions and Tolerances

We maintain strict dimensional tolerances to ensure consistent quality:

  • Outer Diameter Tolerance: ±0.1 mm
  • Wall Thickness Tolerance: ±10%
  • Length Tolerance: ±5 mm
  • Straightness: Maximum 1 mm per meter
  • Surface Roughness: Ra ≤ 1.6 μm

Product Features in Detail

The seamless construction of our tubes eliminates welded seams that could become failure points. Unlike welded alternatives, these tubes offer uniform wall thickness and consistent mechanical properties throughout their length. The natural oxide layer formation provides self-healing corrosion protection, making them ideal for harsh environments.

Quality Assurance and Testing

Every tube undergoes comprehensive quality testing:

  • Chemical composition analysis
  • Dimensional verification
  • Surface quality inspection
  • Mechanical property testing
  • Pressure testing capabilities
  • Non-destructive testing when required
