Hello,

I am looking for tube to make cylinders for a stationery steam engine.

What is the maximum temperature that your tube will safely work at please ?

Do you have 3 inch diameter tube available please ?

Thanks

Denis

The only Data we hold shows a HDT of 70°C So I certainly wouldnt be risking steam down them!!

Also the biggest tube we stock is 60.3mm ID Carbon Fibre Tube.
