Sandvik Materials Technology is a developer and producer of advanced stainless steels, special alloys, titanium and other high-performance materials

Hydraulic and instrumentation tubing

Hydraulic tubes and instrumentation tubes in a comprehensive range of corrosion-resistant stainless steels and nickel alloys covering outside diameters from (OD) 3 to 50 mm (0.118 to 1.968 in.). All sizes are supplied with smooth surfaces and close dimensional tolerances reducing the risk of leakages when connecting tubes with couplings.

Standard delivery form for Sandvik hydraulic and instrumentation tube is straight lengths of 6 meters, but our tubes can also be delivered as coiled tubing, contributing to reduced installation costs.

Tubes with high cleanliness

Sandvik hydraulic tubes and instrumentation tubes are characterized by high cleanliness, and tubes with OD larger than 5 mm (0.196 in.) can be delivered with plugged ends for transport protection against inside contamination.

Materials and standards

The tables show Sandvik's standard grades for hydraulic and instrumentation tubing. Other grades can be offered on request.

Coiled tubing

Sandvik stainless hydraulic tubes and instrumentation tubes can also be delivered in coils, contributing to reduced installation cost due to:

  • Fewer connections
  • Higher degree of materials utilization
  • Improved system integrity

Tubes with outside diameter (OD) up to and including 30 mm (1.18 in.) are supplied bright annealed. Tubes with OD larger than 30 mm are supplied in the annealed and pickled condition. For information about maximum working pressure for each size and grade, use our pressure calculation tool.
