A.2 Description of Grades
A.2.1 Grades SD and MD are produced by furnace butt welding of preheated steel strip which has been bent into a circular
shape by a series of rolls. The continuous tube is cut into length, cooled, and prepared for cold drawing. Grades SDE and
MDE are produced by electric resistance welding of steel strip which has been rolled to a circular shape. After removal of
the weld flash the tube is cut into lengths and prepared for drawing. These grades are available in rounds only.
A.2.2 Sink drawn tubing, Grades SE and SDE, are drawn through a die only. Grades MD and MDE mandrel drawn tubing
are drawn simultaneously over a mandrel and through a die. Mandrel drawn tubing has the advantage of better inside
diameter tolerances, wall tolerances, and inside surface finish.
A.2.3 Because of the higher weld efficiency of the electric resistance welding process. Grades SDE and MDE have better
properties for torsional applications than Grades SD and MD. Grade MDE is not recommended for hydraulic cylinder
applications because the surface quality and inspection criteria are lower than those required for Grade DOM (A-10, Part I,
mandrel drawn tubing), but it may be considered as a lower price alternate to Grade DOM for most mechanical applications.
Also, Grades SDE and MDE can be ordered to special close tolerances. By careful ordering, tubing meeting Grade DOM
tolerances can be obtained in many sizes at substantial cost savings.
A.3 Comparison of Grades SDE & MDE vs. DOM (A-10, Part I) Tolerances
Tolerances shown in Table I for Grades SDE, MDE, and DOM are allowable deviations as increase in OD or decrease in ID;
increases in ID and decreases in OD are not allowed. See “Pricing – Restricted Tolerances Extras.”
