Interesting find. While trying (in vain) to locate some 310 stainless, 2" OD x .065" wall, I spoke with Plymouth Tube. They told be that I would have to buy 10,000 feet at a minimum (I only needed 620 feet). I asked what they would use as starting stock and they said it would be a hollow.....2.375" OD x .109 wall. Those numbers seemed somehow familiar so I too a look at my handy pipe size chart and guess what? Those dimensions describe 2" schedule 10 pipe!

 

I checked with Rolled Alloys and they did in fact have stock in 2" schedule 10 pipe.

 

Plymouth Tube quoted me roughly $10.00 per foot to convert the pipe to 2" OD x .065" wall tube and about 5 weeks....as opposed to 24 weeks for the 10,000 foot min buy.

 

There are a number of companies willing to provide this service including, apparently, Plymouth Tube but also, Century Tubes in San Diego.

 

You may never use this tip but one day if you do, say thanks Al.....
