Hydraulic & control line tubing

Durable Hydraulic & Control Line Tubing

Wear in hydraulic and control line tubing can lead to leaks and system failures. Our seamless stainless steel and nickel alloy solutions effectively mitigate wear and prolong service life.

The service challenge

Hydraulic and control line tubing are primarily subjected to sliding abrasion and impact, leading to thinning and eventual failure of the tubes. Areas prone to wear typically include the outer surfaces and connection points, causing leaks and pressure drops.

Recommended pipe or tube by component

Component	Grade	Thickness	Why
Hydraulic Tubing	S31600	2-5 mm	Enhanced corrosion resistance and strength ensure longer service life.
Control Line Tubing	S32205	3-7 mm	Duplex structure provides superior strength and resistance to aggressive fluids.
Pressure Tubing	N08825	4-8 mm	High nickel content offers exceptional resistance to oxidation and sulfuric acid.
Choke and Kill Line Tubing	N06601	5-10 mm	High-performance alloy reduces wear under high-pressure conditions.
Subsea Control Line Tubing	S32750	3-6 mm	Outstanding resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion for subsea applications.

Selecting the right pipe or tube

Identify the fluid type

Select materials that can withstand the specific chemicals present in the application.

Evaluate pressure ratings

Ensure the selected tubing meets or exceeds the maximum pressure requirements.

Consider temperature ranges

Choose grades that maintain mechanical properties within the expected temperature limits.

Assess environmental conditions

Select materials based on exposure to corrosive elements and environmental stressors.

Questions engineers ask

What is the best grade for high corrosion environments?

For high corrosion resistance, S31600 and S32750 are excellent choices due to their superior material properties. They perform well in both saline and acidic conditions.

How do I determine the appropriate thickness?

The tubing thickness should be based on pressure and wear considerations; a thicker wall provides more durability in high-pressure applications. Consult with our engineers for tailored recommendations.

Can your tubing handle extreme temperatures?

Yes, we offer tubing grades like N06601 and N08825 that are designed for high-temperature environments. These materials maintain their properties even under thermal stress.

What is the lead time for your products?

Lead times vary based on order size and specifications, but we typically deliver within 4-6 weeks. For urgent needs, please contact our sales team for expedited options.
