Whether you're a model engineer hunting for a specific bore size, a plumber needing a short brass tube for a repair, or a maker building a custom frame, finding the exact outer diameter and wall thickness in one place is rarely straightforward. This listing solves that problem with a comprehensive range of brass round tubes covering OD 0.8mm through 10mm, wall thicknesses from 0.15mm to 3mm, all cut to a consistent 500mm (≈19.7") length.
Each tube is manufactured from brass (CuZn alloy) and supplied as a single 500mm stick. Outer diameters span 0.8mm (≈1/32") up to 10mm (≈3/8"), with inner diameters determined by the wall thickness you select — for example, a 6mm OD / 0.5mm wall tube has a 5mm ID, while a 6mm OD / 1mm wall tube has a 4mm ID. Wall thickness options range from 0.15mm to 3mm depending on the OD chosen. Select your combination using the variant dropdowns above.
Typical use cases include precision model making and scale engineering, small-bore plumbing and fluid-line routing, hobby robotics and RC vehicle frames, jewelry and craft fabrication, and educational or laboratory apparatus. The consistent metric sizing makes these brass tubes for model engineering a reliable fit for standard metric fittings and compression connectors.
| Material | Brass (CuZn alloy) |
|---|---|
| Outer Diameter (OD) Range | 0.8mm (≈1/32") – 10mm (≈3/8") |
| Wall Thickness Range | 0.15mm – 3mm (varies by OD; see variant options) |
| Inner Diameter (ID) | ID = OD − (2 × Wall Thickness); see variant options |
| Length | 500mm (≈19.7") |
| Tube Profile | Round, seamless-style |
| Surface Finish | Mill finish (natural brass) |
| Thread | None (plain tube) |
| Country of Manufacture | China |
| Quantity per Order | 1 tube per variant selected |
| Compatible Standards | Metric fittings; confirm fit before ordering |
| Machinability | Suitable for cutting, drilling, soldering, brazing |
Select your outer diameter (OD) based on the bore or fitting it must pass through or over. Then choose a wall thickness that gives you the inner diameter (ID) you need — ID = OD minus twice the wall thickness. For example, a 6mm OD tube with a 0.5mm wall has a 5mm ID (6 − 2×0.5 = 5mm). If you need to convert, 1 inch = 25.4mm, so a 10mm OD is approximately 3/8".
Brass (typically CuZn alloy) generally has a tensile strength of around 300–500 MPa depending on the alloy grade. Thicker wall variants carry higher loads. For structural or pressure-bearing applications, confirm the specific alloy grade with us before ordering.
Brass is naturally corrosion-resistant and performs well in moist or humid environments. It is generally suitable for light outdoor use, plumbing fittings, and marine-adjacent applications. For prolonged saltwater or chemical exposure, consider an additional protective coating or a more corrosion-resistant alloy.
These are plain (unthreaded) round tubes. They are compatible with standard metric compression fittings and push-fit connectors sized to match the OD. For threaded connections, the tube would need to be tapped or fitted with a threaded coupler. Always verify the fitting bore matches the tube OD before purchasing.
Yes. Brass cuts cleanly with a pipe cutter, hacksaw, or rotary tool. It solders and brazes readily with standard flux and solder, making it a popular choice for model engineering, plumbing repairs, and custom fabrication. Deburr cut ends before fitting.
For fine detail work and scale models, OD sizes of 0.8mm–3mm with thin walls (0.15mm–0.3mm) are typically used. For structural frames or larger assemblies, 4mm–10mm OD tubes with 0.5mm–2mm walls are generally more appropriate. Match the OD to your design drawings or existing fittings for the most reliable fit.
Each tube is 500mm (≈19.7") long. Custom lengths are not currently offered as a standard variant. The 500mm length can be cut down to your required size using standard metal-cutting tools. If you need a specific cut length in bulk, contact us to discuss options.
