Bendable stainless steel tube

Bendable stainless steel tube

Bendable stainless steel tube

(OP)
Does anyone know of a UK source for stainless steel tube. It needs to be OK for 40 bar internal pressure with an external temperature of around 600 deg C. I need an OD around 8 - 10 mm, and the tube must be formable to about 200m radius.

Even a suitable material spec will get me on the right path

Thank you all for your help

Good Luck

RE: Bendable stainless steel tube

Look up who handles Swagelock in your area.  They'll be able to give you some names.  In that size, you won't need much wall thickness for pressure retention.

If you ask for a swagelock catalog, they have different grades and sized of SS tubing and what pressures various wall thicknesses can handle.
