Source for acrylic tube? 4"
 

I am wanting to build a Kalk reactor, but need some clear tube. Anyone know where I can get 3' of 4" or 4.5" Diam acrylic tube for a OK price?

Thx in Advance

I get my supplies here http://www.ippnet.com/home.html the price on extruded is not bad but the cast is pricey. Not sure if they ship or not but worth a call, sometimes they have shorter cutoffs at decent prices.

what is a kalk reactor?

For dosing Kalkwasser, to keep Calcium levels up

McMaster-Carr (www.mcmaster.com) is my go to place for materials. I use a ton of acrylic tubing to build my reactors (chemical, not calc) for my PhD and these guys have a good selection. May be a little bit more but it'll be at your house before you know it and you can find almost anything you want.

I thought Mcmaster stopped shipping to Canada?? Tried to order somwthing from them last year and they wouldn't ship out of the U.S.

Not that I know of. Just got a $900 parts order from them about 5 days ago. I could have been what you were trying to order maybe?

No I was just ordering some nylon thumbscrews etc, and they wouldn't ship to Canada. I used to order from them all the time, good news that they are shipping again.

ya, I tried to get some stuff from them 3 years ago, no CDN shipping so I never went back and even looked what they have

I should probably state that I am ordering all of this through my work at the University. I will extend the offer to you guys, if McMaster won't ship to you, I can order it and give it to you.

Hi ScubaSteve:

Are you still open to ordering for us. looking for some speciality peristaltic tubing, and looks like Mcmaster has it.

PM me with what you are looking for. There are some things that get charged crazy tariffs if you bring it in from the States but you can probably find it here. I deal with a lot of peristaltic pumps so I can likely help you find what you are looking for for cheap. Otherwise, yes, I can likely order it for you.

Thanks appreciate it, will get back to you next week. Working on a project using a stepper motor to drive a Msterflex L/S peristaltic pumphead. If I can get it to work satisfactorily I would be looking for some replacment silicone or Norprene tubing. Have sourced out some suitable alternatives on Mcmaster that seem to meet the same specs as Cole Palmer.
