Whether you're building a scale model, crafting custom jewelry, assembling an RC frame, or prototyping a precision instrument, finding a brass round tube in exactly the right diameter is often the hardest part. Off-the-shelf hardware store stock rarely covers the sub-10mm range, and ordering from overseas means long waits and inconsistent quality. These brass round tubes are stocked in 18 OD sizes from 1mm to 12mm, all with a consistent 0.3mm wall thickness, so hobbyists, makers, and small-shop fabricators can get the exact fit they need without compromise.
Each listing covers a single tube, 500mm (≈19.7") long, made from brass alloy with a smooth, bright finish. The outer diameter (OD) ranges from 1mm (≈0.039") up to 12mm (≈0.472"), and the wall thickness is a uniform 0.3mm across all sizes — giving an inner diameter (ID) that is consistently 0.6mm less than the OD (e.g., 6mm OD = 5.4mm ID). All sizes are available in the 500mm fixed length; cut to your required dimension on-site.
Typical use cases include telescoping tube assemblies for RC aircraft and car chassis, small-bore tubing for model steam boilers and plumbing mockups, jewelry findings and tube rivets for metalsmithing, and structural spacers or standoffs in precision instrument housings. The consistent wall dimension across the full size range makes these tubes well-suited for nested or telescoping brass tube applications where adjacent sizes need to slide together.

Measure the opening or bore you need to fit into, then select an OD slightly smaller. For length, 500mm (≈19.7") is typically enough for most model-making and hobby projects — cut to size with a fine-tooth saw or tube cutter. If you need a specific length, contact us to confirm availability.
Yes. Because all variants share a consistent 0.3mm wall thickness, adjacent sizes in this range are generally designed to telescope — for example, the 1.2mm OD tube typically slides inside the 1.5mm OD tube. Verify the ID/OD pairing in the variant options before ordering.
These are thin-wall precision tubes intended for light-duty applications such as model making, jewelry, and instrumentation. They are not rated for structural load-bearing use. For high-stress applications, a thicker-wall tube is generally recommended.
Brass has naturally good corrosion resistance and performs well in moderately humid or indoor environments. For prolonged outdoor exposure or contact with saltwater, applying a clear lacquer or sealant is generally recommended to maintain appearance.
These are plain, unthreaded hollow tubes. They are not pre-tapped or threaded. Compatibility with fittings depends on the OD you select and the fitting's bore. Contact us to confirm fit for specific coupling or connector applications.
Yes. Brass is highly solderable and brazeable. Standard rosin-core or acid-core solder with appropriate flux works well for joining these tubes. This makes them a popular choice for model boilers, jewelry, and custom fabrication.
For the smallest sizes (1mm–3mm OD), a sharp hobby knife or micro tube cutter typically gives the cleanest cut. For larger sizes (4mm–12mm OD), a fine-tooth jeweler's saw or a dedicated tube cutter is generally recommended. Deburr the cut end with a fine file or reamer.
