DOM Tubing is an essential component of high-precision industrial applications, such as hydraulic cylinders and automotive components. Its strength, uniform wall thickness, and superior surface finish ensure optimal performance in critical industrial environments. Furthermore, its dimensional accuracy reduces the need for additional machining and provides a more consistent weld seam. Moreover, its tensile and yield strengths can withstand high stress and pressure, making it an ideal choice for applications in construction, manufacturing, and transportation industries.
Developed from high-quality carbon steel, DOM tubing is manufactured through the electric resistance welding (ERW) process. It begins as coils of steel that are slit to the desired size and then passed through an electric resistance welder, where the weld creates the tube. After the weld, the material is annealed to soften and prepare it for cold drawing over a mandrel and dies that shape the outer diameter (OD) and inner diameter of the tube. This cold-drawing process reshapes and enhances the arrangement of steel crystals, creating a stronger, more durable, and longer product with a consistent weld seam.

Throughout the ERW and cold-drawing processes, DOM tubing undergoes rigorous quality control inspections that include non-destructive testing for weld integrity and dimensional inspections of the finished product. These inspections provide assurance that DOM tubing meets the standards and specifications for its intended use, ensuring the best possible quality and consistency.
