Cold Drawn Seamless (CDS) Steel Pipe–High Precision & Superior Surface Finish

Our Cold Drawn Seamless (CDS) Steel Pipes are the preferred choice for applications requiring exact dimensional accuracy and a smooth, scale-free surface. Produced by drawing a hot-rolled "mother pipe" through a die at room temperature, the cold-drawing process enhances the steel's mechanical properties, increases hardness, and ensures tighter tolerances than hot-rolled alternatives.

Common Standards and Steel Grades

We manufacture and stock a wide range of CDS tubes to meet specific mechanical and structural requirements:

ASTM A519: Standard specification for seamless carbon and alloy steel mechanical tubing.

Common Grades: 1010, 1020, 1045, 4130, 4140.

ASTM A179 (ASME SA179): Seamless cold-drawn low-carbon steel heat-exchanger and condenser tubes.

DIN 2391 / EN 10305-1: Steel tubes for precision applications.

Grades: ST35, ST45, ST52, E215, E235, E355.

ASTM A106 / A53 Grade B: For high-pressure and high-temperature precision piping.

Dimensions and Technical Specifications

Precision is the hallmark of cold-drawn products. Our facility offers the following sizing capabilities:

Feature	Specification Range
Outer Diameter (OD)	1/8” to 12” (3.18mm – 323.8mm)
Wall Thickness (WT)	0.5mm to 25mm (Ultra-thin to Heavy Wall)
Length	Up to 12m, Fixed Length, or U-Bent for heat exchangers
Tolerances	OD: ±0.05mm to ±0.1mm; WT: ±5% to ±7.5%
Surface Finish	Bright Annealed, Polished, or Oiled (Scale-free)
Delivery Condition	BK (+C), BKW (+LC), BKS (+SR), GBK (+A), NBK (+N)

Core Application Fields

Because of their high precision and strength, CDS pipes are essential in high-performance engineering:

Automotive & Aerospace: Hydraulic cylinders, drive shafts, shock absorbers, and structural frames.

Heat Exchangers & Condensers: High-efficiency thermal transfer tubing for power plants and refineries.

Hydraulic & Pneumatic Systems: Precision fluid power lines where tight seals are mandatory.

Machinery Manufacturing: Bearings, bushings, and high-speed rotating components.

Oil & Gas: Instrumentation tubing and downhole tools requiring exact diameters.

WALL THICKNESS TOLERANCES FOR ROUNDa,b,c COLD-WORKED SEAMLESS TUBING PER ASTM A519
Cold Drawn Maximum % Over and Under Nominal		Wall Thickness % of OD
ID Up To 1.499 Inches	ID 1.500 Inches and Over	Wall Thickness % of OD
10	7.5	25 and Under
12.5	10	Over 2

*ID Tolerances apply to dimensions 0.625 inch and over when ID is at least half the OD
1:Many tubes with inside diameter less than 50% of outside diameter or with wall thickness more than 25% of outside diameter, or with wall thickness over 11¼4 in., or weighing more than 90 lb/ft, are difficult to draw over a mandrel. Therefore, the inside diameter can vary over or under by an amount equal to 10% of the wall thickness. See also Footnote B.

2:For those tubes with inside diameter less than 1/2 in. (or less than 5/8 in. when the wall thickness is more than 20% of the outside diameter), which are not commonly drawn over a mandrel. Footnote A is not applicable. Therefore, for those tubes, the inside diameter is goverened by the outside diameter tolerance shown in thiis table and the wall thicnkess tolerances shown in Table 9.

3:Tubing having a wall thickness less than 3% of the outside diameter cannot be straightened properly without a certain amount of distortion. Consequently such tubes, while having an average outside diameter and inside diameter within the tolerances shown in this table, require an ovality tolerance of 1/2% over and under nominal outside diameter, this being in addition to the tolerances indicated in this table.
