Glass tubes, where can I get some?

[Larrystein]

Ok! It's probably a stupid question but I cannot find any in the catalogues I have looked at.

You know what I mean, the tubes we use to connect apparatus via holed bungs and PVC/rubber hose.

I cannot find any on Ebay except one in the US and that is flint glass. Will this suffice or can you point me in the right direction to get some better type.

 

Thanks

There's certainly tubing on ebay.

I have no connection with this seller, nor have I bought anything from them but I have noticed that they have been around for a while.

Oh yes! I forgot that one. However 1-2mm ID is not very useful and soda glass is not good for acids. Right?

 

I am looking for something like you get in chemistry sets, 4-5mm ID 6mm OD.

 

Thanks

Soda glass isn't ideal but it will do the job. The stuff in chemistry sets is probably soda glass.
