I measured the tubing in my peristaltic pump with a caliper and came up with these approximate measurements due to the pliability of the tubing making it a little difficult to know when I made contact and the tubing being used and possibly slightly deformed.

OD-0.26"/6.67mm
ID-0.124'/3.15mm

This seems to me like it is 1/4" OD x 1/8" ID tubing such as can be found here as the fourth result.

Does that sound accurate to you as well? Thanks!

What peristaltic pump are you using and if it supports different pump heads, which model? Also, many pump heads like Cole-Parmer (Masterflex) can take multiple tube sizes.

I’m actually using the DOS. My Watson Marlow started acting up, so I made the switch. I suspect my humid basement caused electrical issues.
