What is SAE J524 seamless hydraulic tubing?

SAE J524 seamless hydraulic tubing is a type of tubing made from cold-drawn, low-carbon steel. It is designed to withstand high pressure and is often used in hydraulic systems for fluid power applications. The seamless construction of the tubing allows for a smooth interior surface, which reduces the risk of turbulence and pressure loss. This standard is defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).

SAE J524 defines cold-drawn and annealed seamless low-carbon steel pressure tubing, designed specifically for hydraulic lines and various applications where tubing quality must allow for flaring and bending.

SAE J524 seamless hydraulic tubing material

The main material grade for J524 seamless hydraulic tubing is low-carbon steel, such as 1006 to 1018 Steel.

SAE J524 seamless hydraulic tubing size

The typical size range for J524 seamless hydraulic tubing is between 3/16 inch to 3 inch outside diameter (OD) with wall thicknesses from 0.028 inch to 0.156 inch. However, specific sizes may vary depending on the manufacturer and application requirements.

SAE J524 seamless hydraulic tubing applications

J524 seamless hydraulic tubing is commonly used in a wide range of fluid power applications, including hydraulic lines, fuel injection lines, and oil and coolant lines. It is also used in industrial and mobile equipment, such as construction machinery, agricultural equipment, and transportation vehicles. The tubings ability to withstand high pressure and resist corrosion makes it a popular choice for many hydraulic systems.
