Product Description

EN 10305-1 seamless precision steel tubes are cold-drawn seamless steel tubes manufactured to European standard specifications for precision applications. These tubes are characterized by precisely defined dimensional tolerances and specified maximum surface roughness, making them ideal for applications requiring high accuracy and reliability

The standard covers circular cross-section tubes with outside diameters up to 380 mm, and may also be applied to other cross-section types. Typical applications span the automotive, furniture, and general engineering industries.

EN 10305-1 Seamless Precision Steel Tube Chemical Composition

EN 10305-1 specifies three main steel grades for precision tubes:

Steel Grade Steel Number C max (%) Si max (%) Mn max (%) P max (%) S max (%)
E215 1.0212 0.10 0.05 0.70 0.025 0.015
E235 1.0308 0.17 0.35 1.20 0.025 0.015

Note on Delivery Conditions:

For tubes delivered in cold-finished conditions (BK/BKW), the yield point may be higher:

  • BK (cold-finished/hard) : ≥ 80% of tensile strength
  • BKW (cold-finished/soft) : ≥ 70% of tensile strength
  • GBK/NBK (annealed/normalized): Standard values apply
Delivery Conditions

EN 10305-1 defines five delivery conditions for precision tubes:

Symbol Term Description Deformability
BK Cold-finished/hard (as-drawn) No heat treatment after final cold forming Low
BKW Cold-finished/soft (lightly cold-worked) Light finishing pass after heat treatment Limited cold forming possible
BKS Cold-finished/soft stress-relieved Stress relieved after cold finishing Improved for cold forming
GBK Annealed Annealed in a controlled atmosphere or vacuum Good
NBK Normalized Normalized above the upper transformation point Best

GBK (+A) = Annealed in controlled atmosphere (bright annealed)
NBK (+N) = Normalized in controlled atmosphere

    Precision cold rolled stainless steel strip is a narrow, thin-gauge stainless steel product manufactured to significantly tighter thickness and width tolerances than standard cold-rolled sheet. Unlike standard sheet (typically 1000mm or 1219mm wide), precision strip is produced in narrow widths — usually less than 600mm — and thin gauges from 0.05mm up to 3.0mm. The key differentiator is the tolerance : the precision strip holds thickness variations to as low as ±0.005mm,
