Custom cold drawn tubes: Generaltubi goes beyond the standard
The production of custom cold drawn tubes is a highly specialized niche that demands extensive expertise and the ability to tailor each batch to customer specifications. This is an area where Generaltubi has developed one of its core strengths.
When standard tubes are not enough
In hydraulic, mechanical, automotive, agricultural, and industrial applications, standard tubing is often insufficient to meet specific project requirements. Tight dimensional tolerances, specific metallurgical properties, and dedicated heat treatments frequently become essential prerequisites.
For applications where off-the-shelf solutions are not sufficient, Generaltubi manufactures custom precision cold drawn tubes, tailored to each customer's technical specifications and the performance demands of the end application.
Manufactured in accordance with EN 10305 standards
Production is carried out in compliance with the leading European standards governing precision cold drawn steel tubes.
EN 10305-1 covers seamless precision cold drawn tubes and is the preferred choice for applications requiring high mechanical performance, structural consistency, and exceptional dimensional accuracy.
EN 10305-2 applies to welded precision cold drawn tubes, a solution that combines precision and cost-competitiveness across a wide range of industrial applications.
Carbon and alloy steels for demanding applications
Generaltubi's manufacturing flexibility extends to material selection as well.
The company routinely processes carbon steel grades such as E235 and E355, widely used in structural and mechanical applications, as well as alloy steels designed for applications requiring enhanced strength, improved machinability, or specific in-service performance characteristics.
Selecting the most suitable material allows the optimal balance between performance, cost, and application requirements to be achieved.
Tailored heat treatment solutions
A further advantage lies in the availability of a wide range of heat treatment processes.
Standard treatments include normalizing, annealing, and stress relieving, all aimed at providing the material with the metallurgical characteristics required for subsequent manufacturing operations or operating conditions.
In addition, Generaltubi develops customized heat treatment cycles to meet specific customer requirements, further expanding the level of product customization available.
Standard and special tolerances
Dimensional precision is one of the most critical factors in the production of cold drawn tubes.
In addition to supplying tubes that comply with the tolerances specified by the relevant standards, Generaltubi can manufacture products with special tolerances whenever the application requires precision levels beyond standard market requirements.
To ensure efficient production and maintain the economic sustainability of the manufacturing process, minimum order quantities generally range from 500 to 1,000 kg, depending on the specifications involved.
Fast and reliable deliveries
With several tons of material held in stock, Generaltubi ensures fast production scheduling and prompt delivery.
