Dom ?

[rockdog]

Will 11/2" .250 wall dom sleave inside 2" .250 wall? I know size wise it should. But I haven't done it and want to know for sure.

it's a tight fit, need dry ice and a torch.

And lots of butter...

Okay,I don't think the wife will like me using all her butter. So what wall thickness 2" will sleave over 11/2" and not be a sloppy fit?

 

[78mitsu]

2" 250 wall will sleeve 1.5" whatever wall (tubing), If you're looking at sleeving, I'd recommend that you re-evaluate your materials, go to a chromo tube instead of sleeving two steel pieces together, smaller wall thickness with the same strength. There is some varience in tube size, so take a piece of what you want to sleeve with you and try it, You'll probabbly need a press.

You can sleeve something like 2" .120 over a 1.75" tube since there's ten thousandths clearance there, but doing what you're talking about won't really work. There's no play, so it ends up being an interference fit.
