High Precision Honing Pipe
Honed pipes are precision-engineered tubes that undergo a specialized honing process to achieve an extremely smooth and uniform interior surface. The key features of high-precision honed pipes include:
- Tight Dimensional Tolerances: Honed pipes are manufactured to very tight tolerances, often in the range of H8 or H9, ensuring consistent and precise inner diameters.
- Excellent Surface Finish: The honing process removes any surface irregularities, resulting in a mirror-like finish with surface roughness values as low as Ra 0.3 microns.
- Improved Cylindricity: Honing helps correct any out-of-roundness or taper in the pipe, producing a highly cylindrical inner surface.
- Stress Relief: The honing process relieves internal stresses in the pipe material, improving dimensional stability and performance.
- Wide Size Range: Honed pipes are available in a wide range of diameters, from as small as 40mm up to 700mm, and lengths up to 6000mm.
These high-precision characteristics make honed pipes ideal for demanding applications such as hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, injection molding machines, and heavy equipment like JCB machines. The specialized honing process ensures consistent and reliable performance in critical components.
