What size tube do I need for 3/64" Brass rod?

[Doris]

As the question says above.

I've been using this size rod for a while and now need a brass tube that's a close fit that I can then solder in place on the rod. I tend not to work in imperial measurements and the metric size given is 1.19mm which makes things more tricky. Also the sizes given online seem to be outside diameter usually.

I would usually go to a model shop and just compare but all the K & S packets are sealed up.

Can anyone help please? I don't mind it being a bit loose to allow for some solder to run through

If you can find out the wall thickness of the tube, you can use that in combination with the outside diameter to calculate the inside diameter.

For instance, this listing says 0.2mm wall, so you would need 1.6mm OD to achieve 1.2mm ID.
