Gardner Denver QX101720 Oil Pipe for High-Pressure Hydraulic Systems

An oil pipe is a specialized conduit designed for the efficient and safe transportation of hydraulic fluids, lubricants, fuels, and other industrial oils within a system. Engineered to withstand high pressures, temperature fluctuations, vibration, and potential chemical aggression, these pipes serve as the essential "vascular system" of machinery, ensuring that oil reaches critical components like pumps, valves, and actuators without leakage or failure.

• Power Transmission: Transporting high-pressure hydraulic fluid to transfer power throughout a system.
• Lubrication Delivery: Supplying lubricating oil to bearings, gears, and other moving parts to reduce friction and wear.
• Fuel Transfer: Delivering fuel from tanks to engines or combustion systems.
• Heat Transfer: Circulating oil as a cooling medium in heat exchangers and cooling systems.
• Return Lines & Drainage: Providing a path for oil to return to the reservoir or sump.

• Size Range: From small capillary tubes (¼" OD) to large diameter pipes (several inches).
• Pressure Rating: Varies by type; seamless tubes can handle several thousand PSI, while hoses are rated by their working pressure.
• Temper: Annealed (soft for bending) or hard-drawn (for straight runs).
• Material: Carbon Steel (ST37, ST52), Stainless Steel (304, 316L), Copper, Aluminum.
• Standards: Manufactured to international standards such as DIN 2391, ASTM A179, SAE J525.
• Surface Treatment: Phosphated (zinc or manganese for corrosion resistance and paint adhesion), Galvanized, Pickled & Oiled.

Oil pipes are critical in virtually every sector that uses fluid power or lubrication:

• Mobile Hydraulics: Excavators, bulldozers, agricultural tractors, and forklifts.
• Industrial Machinery: Injection molding machines, metal presses, CNC machine tools, and stamping presses.
• Power Generation: Hydraulic control systems in turbines, and lubrication systems in generators.
• Transportation: Fuel lines, brake lines, and hydraulic systems in trucks, buses, and aircraft.
• Marine & Offshore: Steering gear, winch systems, and engine room hydraulics.
• Mining & Forestry: Heavy-duty equipment operating in extreme conditions.

Selecting the correct oil pipe is critical for system safety and performance. Consider these factors:

• Operating Pressure: Choose a pipe with a pressure rating exceeding the system's maximum working pressure, including pressure spikes.
• Fluid Compatibility: Ensure the pipe material is chemically compatible with the oil type (e.g., mineral oil, synthetic oil, phosphate ester, fuel).
• Environment: Consider temperature, exposure to chemicals, saltwater, UV radiation, and potential for abrasion.
• Flexibility vs. Rigidity: Use rigid tubing for fixed layouts with clean, straight runs. Use flexible hose where vibration, movement, or complex routing is needed.
• Size (ID & OD): The inner diameter must be sized to maintain acceptable flow velocity and minimize pressure drop. The outer diameter must match standard port and fitting sizes.

• Certified Quality: Our seamless and welded tubes are manufactured to exacting international standards (DIN, ASTM, SAE), with full material traceability and test certificates.
• Superior Performance: Excellent surface finish minimizes friction and pressure loss. High strength-to-weight ratio ensures reliability.
• Expert Technical Support: Our team can help you select the right material, size, and specification for your specific application, ensuring optimal performance and safety.
• Complete Range: We stock a comprehensive inventory of tubing, hose, and fittings to meet all your hydraulic and lubrication system needs.
• Customization: We offer cutting, bending, and threading services to provide ready-to-install components, reducing your fabrication time.
