What is SWST-Z Pipe?

09/28/2011 4:53 AM

What is SWST-Z pipe? I have a drawing specs for an automotive part and i can't seem to find it in the JIS book.

The specs i have on the drawing is SWST-Z with diameter 16mm and 1.0mm thickness.

anyone knows the JIS code on this one or the equivalent of this one?

Wild guess: maybe look under tube specs rather than pipe specs? Is the equipment actually from Japan or Korea?

nope. not that. but thanks for looking. the tube has no flange and no ball bearings inside. itz just a pipe actually. must be free from acid, wax and other foreign material inside. so i guess it is a conduit of fluid in an automobile.

So why not telephone the vehicle manufacturer for advice?

the thing is....they don't know it here locally. To ask the spec, they will have to forward our concern to japan. and mostly, the reply takes weeks! that's why, i resorted here because i might get a faster answer while waiting.

Oh, come on! Are international calls unavailable locally?

What about the Haynes Manual for this vehicle?
