SAE J525 and SAE J526 tubing: manufacturer of welded low carbon tubing
For welded low carbon tubing intended for bending and flaring, the American references are SAE J525 and J526. We manufacture tubing conforming to both, with the formability and finish that forming demands.
What the SAE J525 and J526 standards are
They are two closely related American standards for welded low carbon steel tubing:
They are grouped in a single page for their technical and application closeness.
What the standards specify
J525 and J526 define welded low carbon tubing with:
- The ductility needed for bending, flaring and other forming operations.
- The delivery condition that guarantees that behaviour (annealed, in the case of J525).
- The composition, mechanical properties and dimensions of the welded low carbon tubing.
(Values by diameter and condition, in the data sheet.)
Which Delmàs range meets SAE J525 / J526
The OPTIM and PREMIUMranges, depending on whether bore/outer dimensional control or outer finish is prioritised, always with the formability that forming requires:
| Range | Role under J525 / J526 |
|---|---|
| OPTIM | Simultaneous control of bore and outer diameter; forming with a carefully kept bore. |
| PREMIUM | Outer surface suitable for finishing after forming. |
Beyond the standard: your exact size
J525 and J526 describe the base tubing; your part defines the size and the forming. As a manufacturer —not a distributor with a closed catalogue—, we start from your drawing and adjust the size to the hundredth of a millimetre, with the material condition your bending or flaring needs. The standard is the starting point, not the limit.
Market, sectors and applications
American Americanstandards, for customers who specify in SAE. They apply across the board to welded low carbon tubing components that are bent or flared in Automotive and general industry.
