Inches to mm

[Daniel123dk]

So im helping a friend to find the parts for a watercooling build, and realized, we live in Denmark, and i've heard That the best tubing is the 3/8 inch, but we dont count in Inches here in Denmark. So. Which tubing will be the same as 3/8 inch?

9.525mm

[Daniel123dk]

9.525mm

Umm, ive just read that it might be 16/10mm

that doesn't make logical sense. 16/10mm is 1.6 mm not 9.525 mm

[JeffreyEagan]

that doesn't make logical sense. 16/10mm is 1.6 mm not 9.525 mm

I think 16/10 means OD/ID

There is a difference between nominal and exact measurements 9.525mm is exact, 10mm is nominal same as a 2x4 it's not acutally 2" by 4". they are nominal measurements.

 

10/16 is approx equal to 3/8"ID 5/8"OD

nominal measurements wtf...

He means outer/inner diameter.

When shopping:

16mm OD 10mm ID is equivalent to 5/8" OD 3/8" ID

13mm OD 10mm ID is equivalent to 1/2" OD 3/8" ID

Which tubing is best? :-)

that doesn't make logical sense. 16/10mm is 1.6 mm -> cm not 9.525 mm

It's 1.6cm (16mm) OD and 1cm (10mm) ID. 

 

Umm, ive just read that it might be 16/10mm

It technically is. But inches and fractions are inaccurate (and TBH, stupid) measurements. It's 10mm, but is written as 3/8 Inch, because it's even more confusing to write 3.277382 (or whatever)/8 inch

It really doesn't matter from a temperature point of view. I personally prefer thicker walled tubing (larger difference between ID and OD) because they don't kink as easy and I think the thicker tubing looks nicer. So long as the fittings and tubing match up for sizes, you'll be fine.

I see, well, im not thaaaat good at watercooling, neither is my friend, could You maybe help me with a custom loop? :-)

It's more about the look your going for with large diameter or small diameter tubing it doesn't make a difference in performance really but usually thick walled stuff like the 3/8"ID 5/8"OD is good for very tight bends without kinking.

 

In terms of brand some of the best is Primochill's Advance LRT.

Just make it easy on your self and use an EU site, like https://www.overclockers.co.uk/

They should for the most part use metric measurements.
