In hydraulic systems, seamless pipes serve as essential transmission components, with their material properties directly influencing the system's safety and efficiency. Depending on working conditions and application requirements, hydraulic systems typically use the following types of seamless pipes.
Carbon Steel Seamless Pipes
- #10 and #20 Steel Seamless Pipes
These pipes offer moderate strength and excellent machinability while remaining cost-effective. They are widely used in general hydraulic systems that operate under medium pressure. For instance, small hydraulic equipment and machine tool hydraulic systems often utilize #20 steel seamless pipes.
- #45 Steel Seamless Pipes
With higher strength, these pipes are suitable for hydraulic systems subjected to higher pressures. However, due to their relatively poor weldability, they are typically connected using threaded fittings or high-precision flange connections. They are commonly found in medium to high-pressure hydraulic systems, such as those in construction machinery.
Alloy Steel Seamless Pipes
- Low-Alloy High-Strength Steel Pipes (15CrMo, 12Cr1MoV, etc.)
These pipes provide superior strength and heat resistance, making them suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure hydraulic systems. They are often used in large industrial equipment, such as metallurgical hydraulic systems.
- Medium-Carbon Alloy Steel Pipes (35CrMo, 42CrMo, etc.)
These pipes exhibit excellent strength, toughness, and load-bearing capacity, along with good hardenability and machinability. Commonly found in heavy machinery hydraulic systems, they offer superior durability compared to mild steel tubes and are suitable for long sections and custom-length installations.
Stainless Steel Seamless Pipes
- 304 Stainless Steel Seamless Pipes
Known for their corrosion and oxidation resistance, these pipes are ideal for hydraulic systems exposed to corrosive environments. They are widely used in food processing and pharmaceutical industries to prevent contamination.
- 316L Stainless Steel Seamless Pipes
Featuring enhanced corrosion resistance, especially against chloride-containing environments, these pipes also offer excellent weldability and low-temperature performance. They are commonly used in marine engineering, chemical processing, and other highly corrosive applications.
Conclusion
Selecting the appropriate seamless pipe for a hydraulic system requires consideration of factors such as operating pressure, temperature, medium properties, and installation methods. Carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel seamless pipes each have distinct advantages tailored to specific applications. A well-informed selection enhances system safety, efficiency, and long-term operational stability.
