JDM A28: Specification For Fluid Line Tubing of Carbon and Low Alloy Steels

John Deere Standard
APPROVED FOR SUPPLIER DISTRIBUTION

JDM A28
Specification for Fluid Line Tubing of Carbon and Low
Alloy Steels
1 Scope
JDM A28 specifies requirements for eight grades of low carbon and low alloy single wall pressure tubing
typically used as fluid line tubing in hydraulic, air conditioning, fuel, oil, and air applications.
2 Designations
Table 1 shows JDM A28 grade designations as well as applicable standards, material descriptions, and
typical applications for each grade. Selection of an appropriate JDM A28 tubing grade depends on a
combination of the intended application, end connection types, and secondary bending and flaring
processes used to fabricate the tubing.
