Introduction
Parker offers three types of seamless metric tubes for hydraulic,
pneumatic and instrumentation applications:
Steel seamless cold drawn tube, phosphate and oil
dipped for corrosion resistance
Steel seamless cold drawn tube, zinc Chromium-6 free
plating for corrosion resistance
Stainless steel cold drawn tube
Conformance and Material Specifications
Tests and Certificates
All tubes are subjected toa non-destructive leak test andmarked
accordingly. This marking is used in lieu of a works certificate
DINEN 10204-2.2.Test Class 1 DINEN 10216-5Table 7 applies
for tubes made of 1.4571 material.
Materials and Mechanical Properties
Steel Types, mechanical properties and conditions are listed
in Table Q1.
Welding Suitability and Weldability:
Steel tubes of St. 37.4, R Series, are weldable according
to usual techniques.
Not recommended to weld St. 37.4, R-VZ series,
Zinc Chromium-6 Free plated tubes.
Stainless steel tubes of 1.4571 are suitable for arc welding.
The welding filler should be selected in accordance with DIN
EN1600 and DIN EN12072 Part 1 taking into account the type
of application and the welding technique.
Assembly and Installation
Please refer to
for the assembly and installation
instructions for Metric Tube fittings.
Table Q1 — Parker Steel tubes mechanical properties and conditions
Note:
Interpolation is acceptable for intermediate temperature levels.
Table Q2 — Parker stainless tube elevated temperature derating factors
Applications
Recommended Bend Radius
Abend radius of 3 times the tubeO.D.or greater is recommended
for cold bending of Parker tubes with hand, mechanical and
power bending equipment.
*
Use of Tube Supports
The use of VH tube supports for EO and EO-2 fittings is required
in certain thinner wall tubes to ensure proper assembly. Consult
Fig. S45 & Fig. S46 on page S30.
Temperature Range
Parker steel (St. 37.4) metric seamless tube can be used
at the full rated working pressures without pressure rating
reductions within the following temperature range: -40°C
to +120°C. Maximum allowable operating temperature of
+250°C.
Parker stainless steel (1.4571) metric seamless tube can
be used at full rated working pressures with-out pres-
sure reductions within the following temperature ranges:
