Cold-Drawn Seamless Steel Hydraulic Cylinder Tube

This is a cold-drawn seamless tube of nonalloy steel with a circular cross section, measuring 2-inch OD and 0.25-inch wall thickness, designed for use in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. It falls under HTS 7304.31.60.50 as it is a seamless, cold-drawn tube of iron or nonalloy steel, not further processed into tubes, pipes, or hollow profiles for specific uses. The precision inner surface finish makes it ideal for piston rod applications.
