    I think you'd need a vernier caliper or similar to measure the outside diameter.
    If you have an adjustable wrench and some drill bits you could clamp the capiliary with the jaws then try and see which drill fit in the jaws too, then read the size off the drill bit.

    Thanks for link. I have since found the copy of the table I had on file plus another on the web. All 3 are differrent. It would also appear that using the Outside Diameter as a means of determining the Inside Diameter is unreliable as different ID sometimes share the same OD. The final word is find a supplier you can trust and label the Van Stock well!!

    Then Spammer/spambot copies and pastes for reply, the whole point being their post is JUST to spam links to a website.
