- Measure the Outside Dimensions (OD): Use a calliper or ruler to measure the outermost width of your tube.
- Measure the Wall Thickness: Use the same tool to measure the thickness of the tube wall.
- Calculate the 'To Fit Tube' Size: Subtract the wall thickness from the outside diameter. This value represents the internal diameter of your tube.
- Match the Size: Compare your calculated size to our available product range to find a suitable insert.
