O.D./I.D. of 3" Tube

[mkmilion]

Anyone tell me the OD, ID, and thickness of 3" body tube? Just need some custom centering rings made and was hoping someone knew.

i'm thinking that entirely depends on the wall thickness of the tube itself.. and will probably vary greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer

the best way would be to look on the vendors website where your gonna purchase your tube and get the dims from them

later

Do you mean the lightweight stuff that Estes uses in their Big Daddy kits?

Or do you mean the heavy-duty stuff (like LOC makes) used for high-power rockets?

I thought the "size" of airframe tubes was normally specified as the ID.

I meant the Estes Big Daddy stuff. Obviously one of the dimensions is going to be 3", but I'm unsure.
