✅ Seamless cold drawn – No weld seam – crevice-free corrosion resistance
✅ Low carbon content (≤0.25%) – Superior ductility for rolling and U-bending
✅ 100% hydrostatic & eddy current tested – Guaranteed leak-free bundles
✅ EN 10204 Type 3.1 MTC provided with heat number
✅ Factory direct – Competitive pricing and fast delivery
Chemical Composition
| Element | Requirement | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon (C) | ≤0.25% | Ensures ductility for tube expansion |
| Manganese (Mn) | 0.27% – 0.63% | Provides strength |
| Phosphorus (P) | ≤0.035% | Low for good formability |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤0.035% | Low for good formability |
💡 Low carbon content ensures tubes can be rolled, expanded, and U-bent without cracking – critical for heat exchanger fabrication.
Mechanical Properties
| Property | Value | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | ≥325 MPa (47,000 psi) | Adequate for heat exchanger pressures |
| Yield Strength | ≥180 MPa (26,000 psi) | Low yield ensures good expansion |
| Elongation | ≥35% | Excellent ductility for rolling |
| Hardness (HRB) | ≤72 | Soft – easy rolling, no over-rolling damage |
Dimensional Tolerances
| OD (mm) | Tolerance (mm) | WT (mm) | Tolerance (mm) |

| 25.4 – 38.1 | ±0.13 | 2.0 – 3.0 | ±0.12 |
| 38.1 – 50.8 | ±0.15 | >3.0 | ±0.15 |
| 50.8 – 76.2 | ±0.20 | — | — |
Manufacturing Process – Cold Drawing
Cold Drawing Process Highlights:
Hot rolled tubes are used as starting material
Pickling removes scale – prepares the surface for cold working
Cold drawing reduces diameter – increases strength and achieves precise dimensions
Annealing relieves stress – restores ductility
Straightening – ensures straightness tolerance
Precision cutting – to exact customer length requirements
100% NDT and hydrostatic testing – guarantees integrity
Key Applications
