:idea: Does anyone sell me a chuck of copper tube at least 13 inches long and about 3 9/16 diameter .079 thickness...or give me an address where to buy it?
Thanks for any suggestion :bow: :bow:

Paolo,
There is no near match in US standard copper tube sizes nor could I find a 90mm metric tube, so it appears to me the most expedient thing to do would be to order 3-1/2" diameter tube from one of the model engineering suppliers in the UK. This will not be inexpensive but you are unlikely to find what you are looking for otherwise. Assuming this is for a boiler, another option would be to roll the tube from a piece of 2mm sheet copper.
 
Hi GWRdriver
You have right...The measurement as 3-1/2" is the right...Infact I'm preparing my next work... but I'm not confident on rolling the tube from a piece of 2mm sheet copper as suggested by the engineer who...I have to stop now... :big: Do you know some model engineering suppliers in the UK?
Thanks anyway for your support
Best regards
Paolo
