Overview - ISO 8535-1:2016 (Diesel engines: steel tubes for high‑pressure fuel injection pipes)
ISO 8535-1:2016 specifies dimensions, material and processing requirements, surface quality criteria and test methods for seamless cold-drawn single‑wall steel tubes used in high‑pressure fuel injection pipes for diesel (compression‑ignition) engines (class 2) and for fuel‑injection pump testing (class 1). The standard covers diameter/length tolerances, bore surface grades, minimum mechanical properties, corrosion protection, straightness, cleanliness and required tests and certificates.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope / classes: Applies to diesel engines - class 1 (pump testing) and class 2 (engine service).
- Dimensions & tolerances:
- Recommended inside/outside diameters are given (Table 1).
- Inside diameter tolerances: d ≤ 4 mm → ±0.05 mm (class 2) or ±0.025 mm (class 1); d > 4 mm → ±0.10 mm.
- Outside diameter tolerances: D < 8 mm → ±0.06 mm; D ≥ 8 mm → ±0.10 mm.
- Concentricity of OD to ID is limited proportionally to wall thickness.
- Material & processing:
- Made from unalloyed or equivalent quality steel with homogeneous structure.
- Final cold‑drawing reductions followed by heat treatment to achieve specified mechanical properties.
- Surface quality & bore grades:
- Outside and inside surfaces must be free of scale, laminations, deep pits or injurious defects.
- Bore grades S, R, Q, P, O define permitted imperfections and required magnification for inspection (S = ×50, up to five imperfections 0.08–0.13 mm; O = ×500, all imperfections ≤0.01 mm).
- Surface finish & corrosion protection:
- Outside surface may be plated (e.g., zinc + chromating) or chemically treated; inside surface must remain uncoated. Note: some finishes are not recommended for light alcohol fuels (e.g., methanol).
- Mechanical properties:
- Codes 1–6 specify minimum tensile strength, proof strength, elongation and Vickers hardness (e.g., Code 1 ≈ 310 N/mm2 tensile, 205 N/mm2 proof, 30% elongation, 115 HV; higher codes increase strength/hardness).
- Testing:
- Dimensional checks, tensile/hardness tests per ISO 6892‑1 and ISO 6507‑1, bending test (180° around a rod = OD), cold upsetting for OD ≤ 15 mm, inside pressure tests, surface quality inspections and lot acceptance rules. Cleanliness per ISO 12345.
Applications and users
- Intended for tube manufacturers, fuel‑injection pipe assemblers, engine OEMs, suppliers of high‑pressure fuel systems, testing laboratories, quality and procurement engineers.
- Typical uses: high‑pressure fuel lines in diesel engines, fuel injection pump test rigs, replacement tubing for service/repair. Compliance ensures safety, dimensional interchangeability, corrosion resistance and reliable performance under high pressure.
Related standards
- ISO 6892‑1 (tensile testing), ISO 6507‑1 (Vickers hardness), ISO 12345 (cleanliness), ISO 4093 (tolerance reference). These referenced standards define specific test methods and acceptance criteria used by ISO 8535‑1:2016.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
