EN 10305-1

EN 10305-1 is the European Standard applications for specifies steel tubes. The technical delivery
conditions for seamless cold drawn steel tubes of circular cross section for precision applications
with specified outside diameter D <= 380 mm. NOTE This document may also be applied to other
types of cross section and other suitable processes. Tubes according to this document are
characterized by having precisely defined tolerances on dimensions and a specified maximum
surface roughness.

Seamless Precision Steel Tubes according to EN 10305-1

Typical fields of application are in the automotive, furniture and general engineering industries.

Steel tubes for precision applications

Technical delivery conditions – Part 1: Seamless cold drawn tubes.

Standard and Steel grade:

 EN10305-1 E215/E235/E355

Feature:
 high precision and high brightness, the inner and outer surface of the tubes have high cleanness without oxid
 mechanical properties of the final tubes also come out excellent
 promising no leakage under high pressure
 no deformation after cold-bent and no cracks when flaring and flattening
 ensuring the efficient operation in all service.


DIN 2391-81 Part 2 Seamless Precision steel tubes(DIN2391-81)

Standard DIN 2391 defines the technical delivery conditions for seamless precision steel tubes according
to DIN 2391 Part 1 which are made from the steel grades listed in section 5.
Tubes according to this Standard are mainly used where accuracy to dimension and, possibly, small wall
thicknesses and good surface condition are required.

b For the steel grades E235 and E355 a controlled sulphur content of 0.015% to 0.040% is specified to
support machinability. It shall be obtained by result phursing the steel after maximum desulphurisation or
alternatively by using a low oxygen process.

Condition on delivery:

Term Symbol Explanation

Cold-finished/hard No heat treatment after the last cold-forming process. The tubes
BK
(cold-finished as-drawn) therefore have only low deformability.

After the last heat treatment there is a light finishing pass (cold
Cold-finished/soft
BKW drawing) With proper subsequent processing, the tube can be
(lightly cold-worked)
cold-formed (e.g. bent, expanded) within certain limits.

After the final cold-forming process the tubes are annealed in a

Annealed GBK
controlled atmosphere or under vacuum.

The tubes are annealed above the upper transformation point in a

Normalized NBK
controlled atmosphere or under vacuum.

Flattening test- constant factor of deformation C

After testing, the test piece shall be free from cracks or breaks. However, slight incipient cracks at its edges shall not
be regarded as justification for rejection.
