What is hydraulic line?

The hydraulic line is the conduit that connects pumps, cylinders, motors, and other hydraulic system components. These pipelines not only support the systems pressure and flow but also ensure that the liquid flows smoothly to the desired spot, allowing for a variety of mechanical movements and control functions.


Features of hydraulic pipelines
- Pressure resistance
- Flexibility or rigidity
- Durability
- Sealing

The hydraulic lines are classified as hydraulic hard lines or hydraulic hoses based on the material used.

Differences Between Hydraulic Hoses and Hard Lines
Hydraulic hoses are primarily constructed of rubber layers and steel wire braided layers, with high flexibility and ease of bend.
 Hydraulic hard lines are usually formed of metal such as carbon steel or stainless steel, have a hard texture, and are utilized for high pressure and flow applications.

Metal Hydraulic Line

Why do the metal hydraulic lines contain killed steel as a raw material?
Hydraulic pipes necessitate the use of killed steel because of its high performance and ability to meet the unique requirements of hydraulic systems.

 Dense organization and consistent quality
During the smelting process, killed steel is totally deoxidized, resulting in dense organization, low segregation, and uniform quality. This feature allows killed steel to maintain good stability and durability when exposed to high-pressure, high-speed hydraulic oil.

 Strong pressure-bearing capacity
Hydraulic pipelines must bear high pressure and dynamic loads.

Killed steel is strong and resistant, and it can endure the tremendous pressure created by the hydraulic system during operation. This is required to guarantee that the hydraulic system functions properly and safely.

 Stable performance
withstand the high pressure created by the hydraulic system during operation. This is required to guarantee that the hydraulic system functions properly and safely.

 Excellent plasticity and machinability
Killed steel has a more consistent organizational structure, fewer impurities, and a uniform distribution, indicating good ductility and plasticity. This is required for the cold drawing, cold rolling, and welding of hydraulic pipes throughout the manufacturing process.

Why are steel hydraulic lines typically delivered in a normalized state?
Normalizing treatment can improve the structure and performance of steel, making it more appropriate for hydraulic applications.

 Improve tissue homogeneity
Normalizing treatment can refine the grains of steel and eliminate internal stress and structural defects caused by rolling, drawing, and other material processing processes, resulting in a more uniform hydraulic pipeline structure, stable performance, and the ability to withstand the hydraulic system. High pressure and stress loads.

 Improve pressure resistance
Normalizing treatment can greatly improve steels overall mechanical qualities, including strength, toughness, and plasticity, making hydraulic steel lines less susceptible to brittle fracture in high-pressure situations, ensuring safety and stability.

 Improve the processing performance
Normalized steel has a moderate hardness (170-240HB), making it suitable for additional processing (e.g., welding, cutting, bending).

 Reduce costs and increase efficiency
After normalizing treatment, the steel has good comprehensive mechanical properties and meets the performance requirements of hydraulic lines. No additional heat treatment is necessary, saving money and time while increasing manufacturing efficiency.
