SAE J524 Tubing Seamless Hydraulic Line Pipe

Our SAE J524 tubing is cold-drawn and precision-engineered for hydraulic and pneumatic circuits. Normalized in a controlled atmosphere, its E235 fine-grain steel ensures excellent cold deformation and reliable performance.

Features of SAE J524 Hydraulic Tubing

  • SAE J524 & Dual-Standard Compliance: Meets DIN 2391/EN 10305-4 standards for global compatibility.
  • Seamless Cold-Drawn Construction: Zero weld seams eliminate weak points, enhancing pressure resistance and leak prevention.
  • Heat-Treated Durability: Stress-relieved (+SR) or annealed (+A) states prevent deformation under cyclic loads.
  • Precision Tolerances: OD: 6–42mm (±0.1mm), Wall Thickness: 0.8–8mm (±0.05mm), Straightness: ≤1.2mm/m.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Phosphated (NBK) surface treatment + internal oiling for harsh environments.

Explore SAE J524 Tubing For hydraulic Lines

SAE J524 seamless tubing is a high-quality steel tube standard widely used in hydraulic lines for automotive and industrial systems. This standard sets strict requirements for tube dimensions, wall thickness, material quality, and mechanical properties to ensure reliable performance under high pressure. Seamless construction eliminates weak points, providing superior strength and excellent corrosion resistance.

In hydraulic lines, these tubes act as the system’s pathways, transporting hydraulic fluid between pumps, valves, and actuators. They handle high-pressure flow, prevent leaks, and maintain system efficiency. Common applications include automotive braking systems, construction machinery hydraulics, agricultural equipment, and industrial hydraulic machines.

Our hydraulic steel tubes are made from carbon steel (ST37.4) or stainless steel. They deliver burst pressure at least four times the working pressure (up to 50 MPa) and feature a smooth internal surface (Ra ≤0.4 μm) to reduce friction and extend seal life.

Choosing Baokun‘s SAE J524 hydraulic tubing ensures safety, durability, and compliance with industry standards. Its consistent quality and reliability make it an ideal choice for engineers and technicians designing or maintaining hydraulic systems that require precise, high-pressure fluid handling.

Applications of Hydraulic Steel Tubing

  • Construction Machinery: Hydraulic tubes for excavators/cranes (high-pressure hydraulic lines).
  • Agricultural Equipment: Tractor steering/lifting systems (resists vibration fatigue).
  • Industrial Automation: Injection molding machines, press brakes (precision fluid control).
  • Marine & Offshore: Hydraulic winches/pumps (saltwater corrosion resistance).

Manufacturing Process

  1. Cold Drawing
    Billets are perforated and cold-drawn to achieve seamless hollow sections with H8-H9 dimensional accuracy.
    2. Precision Honing
    Internal surfaces are honed to Ra 0.2–0.4μm, reducing fluid turbulence and seal wear.
    3. Heat Treatment
    Stress-relieving (+SR) or annealing (+A) stabilizes microstructure, ensuring tensile strength ≥52 kg/cm².
    4. Quality Validation

    • Eddy current testing for defects
    • Hydrostatic burst testing (4× working pressure)
    • Spectrometer material verification.

FAQ

1. What is SAE J524?

SAE J524 is a standard set by the Society of Automotive Engineers for automotive and industrial hydraulic tubing. It defines the dimensions, wall thickness, and performance requirements for steel tubes used in fluid systems. J524 tubing is designed to handle hydraulic fluids, oils, and other liquids safely under pressure.

Manufacturers follow this standard to ensure tubes fit correctly, perform reliably, and resist leaks or bursts. Using SAE J524 tubing helps engineers and technicians choose the right pipe for brakes, power steering, and other hydraulic systems in vehicles and machinery.

2. What is the difference between J524 and J525 tubing?

The main difference between SAE J524 and J525 tubing is how they are made and their strength. J524 tubing is drawn or rolled steel, suitable for lower-pressure hydraulic systems. J525 tubing is electric-resistance welded (ERW) and has higher strength, making it better for higher-pressure applications.

Both follow SAE standards, but J525 can handle more demanding conditions without failing. Choosing between them depends on your system’s pressure and safety needs. For most automotive applications, J524 is enough, while J525 is preferred for heavy machinery or high-pressure lines.

3. What is hydraulic tubing used for?

Hydraulic tubing is used to transport fluids in hydraulic systems. It carries oil, water, or other liquids under pressure to power machines and equipment. Common uses include vehicle brakes, construction machinery, and industrial machines. Hydraulic tubing ensures smooth operation, prevents leaks, and withstands pressure and heat.

Using the right tubing size and material is important for safety and efficiency. Steel, stainless steel, and sometimes copper are popular choices because they resist corrosion and high pressure. Proper hydraulic tubing helps machines work reliably for years.

4. Can you supply dual-standard (SAE J524 + DIN 2391) pipes?

Yes! All pipes undergo dual-standard testing.

5. Do you support custom OD/wall thickness outside standard range?

Yes, Custom sizes (e.g., OD 40mm) available at MOQ 1,000 meters.

6. What is the hose/tube fitting compatibility?

Compatible with SAE J356/J526 flared fittings and DIN 2353/EN 10305 compression fittings.
