solid plastic tube/pipe needed

mann · 11-01-2014 7:39pm #1

Hi folks

I been searching all over Munster for solid clear plastic tubing / pipe but as yet have had no joy, the particular one I want has an outside diameter of 16mm with a wall of 3mm and inside diameter of 10mm,

Can anyone please put me out of my misery by pointing me in the direction to where I might find such a product,

I only need small lengths and I would imagine this type of product will come by the metre.

In anticipation of your help I thank you

the tube you are looking for would be sold from a pneumatic supply co try pat murphy ind sales in cork or maybe irish pneumatics but most likely available in 30m coils it would 16x10mm

Hi Sam

I just tried to find an email address for delta but all I could find is a phone number which is near enough

I will give them a ring on Monday... if they don't do the stuff they might be able to point me on another route,

Cheers :cool:

Hi Jim

I Will check out both of them a little later, The tube/pipe I need has to be solid hard as glass,
but glass would not suit my purpose because of the danger of it shattering, again as I said to Sam... they might put me on the right road,

Thank you both for taking the time to help with this, I will be sure to let you know how I get on :cool:

that's why I said nylon you can get polyetlene and polyurethene as well but not in a 3mm wall as far as I know if you fail just pm me and I will try and wrack the ould brain for other suppliers for you I do know it will be available from a company in the uk called buxoplas but carriage may be an issue

What pressure are you running at?
The clear tube I got from Delta has a bit of a blue tinge and is not 100% Clear.
The wall thickness is also smaller but rate at 10 BAR
When I needed clearer Pipe I adapted a Plastic Buret from Lennox. Pricey option.

I think the Delta stuff is nominally 1/2" which has an OD of 20mm with a wall thickness of 1.2 mm
