High strength, light weight hydraulic tubes used to actuate flight control systems

Aerospace Hydraulic Tubes

Fine Tubes is a leading supplier of aerospace hydraulic tubes where they are deployed in the airframes and engines of both commercial and military aircraft.

Our thin wall tubes are used to actuate flight control surfaces that bear heavy aerodynamic loads such as flaps and slats. They are also crucial components in aircraft landing gear and brake systems.

Trusted by Major Airframe Manufacturers

Fine Tubes is one of only a handful of tube mills worldwide qualified to produce the titanium tubing used for the 5,000psi high-pressure hydraulic systems of the Airbus family. Titanium provides a weight saving of 42% compared to the equivalent quantity of traditional stainless steel tubing.
