[PSUBS-MAILIST] ss tubing supplier

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Hugh,
I agree, I am putting the cart before the horse.  I am pretty sure about the size though because I have a very good picture of the arm on Nekton Alpha.  I have measured the tube against known measurements on the sub. Patience is not my strength  :-)

 Hank,
 Pipe is measured in schedule 
 Tube is measured in gauge or wall thickness.
 The tube will be plenty strong enough for
 pressure but you need to hang a
 weight on
 the extended length you need to determine the thickness. 
 What
 weight do you want to be able to
 lift?
 The answer is that the design has
 already been done by others to optimize
 length, weight, force reqd to operate.  I
 would stick to that.  Again find
 out what
 tube size wall thickness etc was on the original cue ball
 designs.
 
 Hugh

  Not sure on the pressure
  rating but can you go with a schedule 40?
 which is  slightly more than 1/8"

  Rick,
  Thank you,
  The heaviest they
 have is .065
  Any idea what kind of external
 pressure an .065  wall ss tube can take.
