Product Overview
Stainless Steel O.D. Ground Tubes are precision-engineered stainless steel tubes manufactured through controlled cold working and centerless grinding processes.
Unlike standard industrial tubing, this product is designed for applications requiring:
Tight dimensional tolerance control.
Stable batch-to-batch consistency.
High geometric accuracy (roundness & straightness).
Reliable performance in OEM production environments.
Key Technical Advantages
Precision Outer Diameter for OEM Assembly Stability
Each tube is manufactured under strict dimensional control:
•Standard OD tolerance: ±0.02 mm
•Controlled roundness and straightness along full length
•Stable dimensional consistency for mass production systems
This ensures:
•Reduced machining variation for OEM manufacturers
•Improved assembly efficiency in automated production lines
•Higher interchangeability in industrial components
Centerless Grinding for Geometric Consistency
All O.D. ground tubes are processed using industrial centerless grinding systems to ensure stable geometry and surface uniformity.
Surface roughness options:
•Ra ≤ 0.4 μm (precision grade)
•Ra ≤ 0.8 μm (industrial grade)
Engineering Benefits:
•Improved sealing reliability in hydraulic systems
•Reduced friction in dynamic mechanical movement
•Enhanced fatigue resistance under cyclic loading
•Improved coating adhesion for secondary processing
Certified Materials with Full Traceability
We use industrial-grade stainless steel materials with full batch traceability:
•304 / 304L
•316 / 316L
Mechanical Performance (Typical Values):
•Tensile Strength ≥ 515 MPa (304 grade)
•Stable elongation for machining and forming
•High corrosion resistance in industrial environments
•316L optimized for marine and chloride-rich applications
Each production batch is traceable via heat number and can be verified through PMI testing.
